How To Fix PLM_AUDIT026 - The object is not sufficiently defined for audit type &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PLM_AUDIT - PLM Audit Management: Audit Specific Messages

• Message number: 026

• Message text: The object is not sufficiently defined for audit type &1

What causes this issue?

The number of input fields for the audit object does not correspond to
the definition of the input fields in Customizing for the audit type
&V1&. This can occur as a result of a change to the Customizing
settings for the audit type, after the audit has been created.

System Response

The system recognizes the inconsistency in the data for the audit
object. However, you can still save your data.

How to fix this error?

First, select another audit type. The data for the audit object is then
initialized by the system. The data you have previously entered for the
audit object is lost during this process. Then, select the initial
audit type that you had selected again. The system then transfers the
necessary input fields from the current Customizing settings for the
audit type.
If the problem persists, contact your system administrators.

Procedure for System Administrators

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