Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDQ_BRFPLUS071 - Rule &1 is not active but enabled in the corresponding BRFplus rule set. ?

  The SAP error message MDQ_BRFPLUS071 indicates that a specific rule in the BRFplus (Business Rule Framework plus) rule set is enabled but not active. This can occur in scenarios where the rule has been defined but not yet activated, which prevents it from being executed during the relevant business processes.
  Cause:
  
  Rule Not Activated: The most common cause is that the rule has been created and enabled in the rule set but has not been activated. In BRFplus, rules must be explicitly activated to be used in processing.
  Transport Issues: If the rule was transported from another system (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been activated in the target system.
  Versioning: There may be multiple versions of the rule set, and the active version may not include the rule in question.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Activate the Rule:
  
  Go to the BRFplus workbench (transaction code BRF+).
  Navigate to the rule set that contains the rule in question.
  Find the specific rule (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Activate the rule by selecting it and choosing the "Activate" option.
  
  
  
  Check Rule Set Activation:
  
  Ensure that the entire rule set is activated. Sometimes, even if individual rules are enabled, the rule set itself may not be active.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the rule was transported, check the transport request to ensure that it included the activation of the rule. If not, you may need to activate it manually in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check for Version Conflicts:
  
  Verify that you are working with the correct version of the rule set. If there are multiple versions, ensure that the version you are using is the one that includes the active rule.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After activation, test the rule to ensure it is functioning as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
