• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSBP_CRM_INBOUND096 - You are not permitted to enter a period for a time-independent rel. cat. ?

  The SAP error message FSBP_CRM_INBOUND096 typically occurs in the context of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when there is an attempt to enter a period for a time-independent relationship category. This error indicates that the system does not allow the specification of a time period for certain types of relationships that are defined as time-independent.
  Cause:
  
  Time-Independent Relationship Category: The relationship category you are trying to use is defined as time-independent in the system. This means that it does not have a start or end date associated with it, and therefore, you cannot specify a period.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the relationship category may not allow for time-dependent entries, leading to this error when such an entry is attempted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Relationship Category: Review the relationship category you are trying to use. Ensure that it is indeed a time-independent category. If you need to work with time-dependent relationships, you may need to select a different relationship category that allows for time periods.
  Adjust Data Entry: If you are entering data through an interface or a transaction, ensure that you are not including period fields (like start date or end date) when working with time-independent relationships.
  Configuration Review: If you believe that the relationship should allow for time-dependent entries, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings for the relationship category in the CRM system. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for time-dependent relationships if that is appropriate for your business process.
  Documentation and Help: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific relationship categories and their configurations.
