• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME282 - Please use one routine only for supplier evaluation in scope of list & ?

  The SAP error message ME282, which states "Please use one routine only for supplier evaluation in scope of list &," typically occurs in the context of supplier evaluation processes within the SAP system. This error indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of the supplier evaluation routines being used.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Routines: The error arises when multiple evaluation routines are assigned to a single supplier evaluation scope. SAP expects only one routine to be used for a specific evaluation scope.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the supplier evaluation settings, where different routines are inadvertently linked to the same evaluation scope.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or selection of routines during the supplier evaluation process can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Evaluation Scope: Review the evaluation scope settings in the SAP system. Ensure that only one evaluation routine is assigned to the specific scope that is causing the error.
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for supplier evaluation (Transaction Code: SPRO).
  Go to Materials Management > Purchasing > Supplier Evaluation > Define Evaluation Criteria.
  Verify the routines assigned to the evaluation scope and remove any duplicates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Routines: If multiple routines are necessary for different evaluations, consider creating separate evaluation scopes for each routine instead of combining them.
  
  
  Review Customizations: If there are custom routines or enhancements in place, ensure that they are correctly implemented and do not conflict with standard routines.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the supplier evaluation process to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the evaluations are functioning as expected.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring supplier evaluations and routines.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME6A (Supplier Evaluation) and ME6B (Display Supplier Evaluation).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to supplier evaluation that may provide additional insights or fixes for known issues.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user performing the evaluation has the necessary authorizations to access and modify supplier evaluation settings.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP MM (Materials Management) for further assistance.
