• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_SE_EAM_SC065 - Non unique sort numbers are not supported (Item = &1) ?

  The SAP error message PLM_SE_EAM_SC065 indicates that there are non-unique sort numbers for a specific item in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) modules, where sorting and categorization of items is crucial for proper data handling and processing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system encounters multiple entries with the same sort number for a specific item. In SAP, sort numbers are used to determine the order in which items are processed or displayed. Non-unique sort numbers can lead to ambiguity in processing, which is why the system does not support them.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all sort numbers for the specified item are unique. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Item: Check the item number provided in the error message (represented as &1).
  
  
  Review Sort Numbers: Go to the relevant transaction or table where the sort numbers are defined for the item. This could be in the material master, BOM (Bill of Materials), or any other relevant data structure.
  
  
  Modify Sort Numbers: 
  
  If you find duplicate sort numbers, you will need to change them to ensure that each entry has a unique sort number.
  You can do this by editing the entries directly in the relevant transaction (e.g., MM02 for material master) or through a custom program if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Related Data: Ensure that any related data structures (like BOMs, routing, etc.) also do not have duplicate sort numbers.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the changes, try to execute the transaction or process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on where the error occurs, you may need to use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material), CS02 (Change BOM), or others relevant to your context.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, SAP releases notes that provide additional context or solutions for known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to PLM and EAM for best practices on managing sort numbers and item categorization.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
