• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IP393 - The maintenance plan only allows task lists without a strategy reference ?

  The SAP error message IP393 indicates that there is an issue with the maintenance plan configuration, specifically that the maintenance plan is set up to use task lists that do not allow for a strategy reference. This typically occurs when you are trying to assign a task list that is linked to a maintenance strategy, but the maintenance plan is configured to only accept task lists that are not associated with any strategy.
  Cause:
  
  Task List Type: The task list you are trying to assign to the maintenance plan is a strategy task list, but the maintenance plan is configured to only accept standard task lists.
  Maintenance Plan Configuration: The maintenance plan may be set up incorrectly, or it may not be compatible with the type of task list you are trying to use.
  Strategy Reference: The maintenance plan is likely defined in a way that it does not allow for any strategy references, which is why it is rejecting the task list.

  Ensure that the maintenance plan is set up correctly to accommodate the type of task list you want to use.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator to understand the specific configurations and requirements for maintenance plans and task lists in your system.
