SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: LRM_BS - IRM - Business Suite

• Message number: 006

• Message text: Register time reference &1 for direct or indirect value determination

What causes this issue?

You have registered time reference &v1& both for direct value
determination as well as for indirect value determination via a callback
method. This constellation does not make sense.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Correct the registration as follows. Register time reference &v1& either
for direct value determination or for indirect value determination via
callback:
If the value of time reference &v1& can be taken from field X of table
Y, select the <LS>Value Determination for Times References (Direct)</>
subdialog. In the first column, enter the name of the time reference (
&v1&). In the second column, enter the name of the source table Y and in
the third column, enter the name of source field X of this table.
If you cannot transfer the value of time reference &v1& directly from a
single field in the data object, go to the <LS>Value Determination for
Time References (Indirect)</> subdialog and enter which fields of which
tables you require to determine the value of time reference &v1& via a
callback (BAdI BADI_IRM_OT_STT).
