• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP080 - Recipe type &1 does not allow versions to be created ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP080 Recipe type &1 does not allow versions to be created typically occurs in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) when you are trying to create a version of a recipe that is not configured to allow versioning. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Recipe Type Configuration: The recipe type specified in the error message (&1) is configured in such a way that it does not permit the creation of versions. This is often a setting in the recipe type configuration within the SAP system.
  System Settings: The system may have been set up to restrict versioning for certain recipe types due to business requirements or compliance reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Recipe Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the recipe type in SAP. This can typically be found in the Customizing (SPRO) under the relevant PLM or Recipe Management settings.
  Look for the option that specifies whether versions can be created for that recipe type. If it is set to "No," you will need to change it to "Yes" if your business process requires versioning.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Process Owners:
  
  Before making changes, consult with the relevant stakeholders or business process owners to ensure that allowing versions aligns with business practices and compliance requirements.
  
  
  
  Create a New Recipe Type:
  
  If the existing recipe type cannot be modified due to business constraints, consider creating a new recipe type that allows versioning and meets your requirements.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the limitations of the current recipe types and provide training on how to use the system effectively within those constraints.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message. SAP's help documentation may also provide insights into recipe type configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as C201 (Create Recipe) or C202 (Change Recipe) to understand how versioning is handled in practice.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that users have the necessary authorizations to create versions if the recipe type is configured to allow it.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and configure your SAP system to meet your versioning needs for recipes.
