• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_SE_COMMON021 - Field &1 ignored and serial generated internally,since &2 was set as TRUE ?

  The SAP error message OPS_SE_COMMON021 indicates that a specific field (denoted as &1) is being ignored because a certain condition (represented by &2) has been set to TRUE. This typically occurs in the context of operations or processes where certain fields are not applicable due to the configuration or state of the system.
  Cause:
  
  Field Configuration: The field &1 is likely configured in a way that it is not relevant when the condition &2 is TRUE. This could be due to business rules or system settings that dictate when certain fields should be used or ignored.
  Process State: The error may arise during a specific process or transaction where the system has determined that the field is not necessary based on the current state or configuration of the process.
  Internal Logic: The internal logic of the SAP application may dictate that when &2 is TRUE, the system should generate a serial number or some other internal identifier, thus making the field &1 irrelevant.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to the field &1 and the condition &2. Ensure that they are set correctly according to your business requirements.
  Adjust Process Logic: If the process logic is causing the field to be ignored, consider whether the condition &2 should be modified or if the process should be adjusted to accommodate the use of field &1.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific module or transaction you are working with. This may provide insights into why the field is being ignored and how to resolve the issue.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the program to see why the field is being ignored. This may provide more context on the internal logic leading to the error.
