SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IUEEDPPLOTA - Deregulation: Distribution of Aggregated Payments

• Message number: 144

• Message text: The combination of default algorithm &1 and field &2 is not permitted

What causes this issue?

Only certain combinations of search algorithms and fields to be
interpreted can be selected for default algorithms. For example, it does
not make sense to look for a point of delivery number in the 'due date'
field.

System Response

The specification is not valid.

How to fix this error?

Specify a valid combination of default algorithm and field to be
interpreted.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IUEEDPPLOTA144 - The combination of default algorithm &1 and field &2 is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message IUEEDPPLOTA144 indicates that there is an issue with the combination of a default algorithm and a specific field in your configuration. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where algorithms are used for planning and optimization tasks.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an invalid combination of a default algorithm (denoted by &1) and a field (denoted by &2) that is not allowed in the current configuration. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Issues: The algorithm you are trying to use may not support the specific field or parameter you are working with.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data or settings that lead to this invalid combination.
  Version Compatibility: The algorithm may not be compatible with the version of the SAP system you are using or with the specific settings in your environment.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the algorithm and the field in question. Ensure that the algorithm you are using is compatible with the field.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 for planning or /SAPAPO/MC90 for configuration) and verify the settings.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific algorithm and field. This can provide insights into valid combinations and any restrictions.
  
  
  
  Change Algorithm or Field:
  
  If the combination is indeed invalid, consider changing either the algorithm or the field to a valid option that is supported.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as this can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.
