Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/ECR_BO082 - You cannot use both date and parameter effectivity to create a change no. ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/ECR_BO082 indicates that there is a conflict in the way you are trying to create a change number in the system. Specifically, it states that you cannot use both date and parameter effectivity simultaneously when creating a change number. This typically occurs in the context of Engineering Change Management (ECM) within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to specify both a date and a parameter effectivity for the same change number. In SAP, effectivity can be defined in two ways:
  
  Date Effectivity: This is based on specific dates (e.g., valid from and valid to dates).
  Parameter Effectivity: This is based on specific parameters or conditions that determine the validity of the change.
  
  Using both methods at the same time is not allowed, as it creates ambiguity in how the change should be applied.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to choose one method of effectivity for your change number creation. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Decide on Effectivity Type: Determine whether you want to use date effectivity or parameter effectivity for your change number.
  
  
  Adjust Your Input:
  
  If you choose Date Effectivity, ensure that you only provide the date fields (e.g., valid from and valid to) and do not include any parameter effectivity settings.
  If you choose Parameter Effectivity, ensure that you only provide the necessary parameters and do not include any date fields.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Change Number: After adjusting your input based on the chosen effectivity type, attempt to create the change number again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for more details on Engineering Change Management and effectivity settings.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CC01 (Create Change Master) or CC02 (Change Change Master) to manage change numbers effectively.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create change numbers and that your user role is configured correctly in the system.
  
  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.
