• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS052 - Enter user-defined text as message or a T100 message text, but not both ?

  The SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS052 indicates that there is a conflict in the way messages are being defined in the Business Rule Framework (BRF+) within SAP. Specifically, the error occurs when both a user-defined text and a T100 message text are provided simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to define a message in BRF+ using both a custom message text (user-defined) and a standard SAP message text (T100 message). The system expects either one or the other, but not both at the same time.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you are only using one type of message definition. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  Check Message Configuration: Go to the BRF+ application where the message is defined.
  Edit the Message: Locate the specific message that is causing the error.
  Remove One of the Message Types:
  
  If you have defined a user-defined message text, remove the T100 message text.
  Conversely, if you have defined a T100 message text, remove the user-defined message text.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  Test the Configuration: Execute the process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
