• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MOC/OBJECT318 - Wrong subordinate CR type &1 (&3) for change request type &2 (&4) ?

  The SAP error message /MOC/OBJECT318 indicates that there is a mismatch in the subordinate change request (CR) type associated with a specific change request type. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Change Request Management (ChaRM) when the system expects a certain type of subordinate change request but receives a different one.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of change request types may not align with the expected subordinate types. Each change request type can have specific subordinate types defined, and if the subordinate type does not match the expected type, this error will occur.
  Incorrect Assignment: The subordinate change request might have been incorrectly assigned or created with a type that is not allowed for the parent change request type.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications in the ChaRM process, they might lead to unexpected behavior or mismatches in the expected types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Change Request Management in the SAP system.
  Verify the settings for the change request types and their allowed subordinate types. Ensure that the subordinate type being used is valid for the parent change request type.
  
  
  
  Review Change Request Types:
  
  Check the specific change request type (&2) and the subordinate type (&1) mentioned in the error message.
  Ensure that the subordinate type is correctly defined and is allowed for the parent type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Assignments:
  
  If a subordinate change request has been incorrectly assigned, you may need to change its type or reassign it to a different parent change request that allows that type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to Change Request Management for any specific guidelines or known issues regarding change request types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
