• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/ESD_BO011 - Redundant entries found: software constraints &1 and &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/ESD_BO011 indicates that there are redundant entries found in the software constraints for a specific business object. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Engineering Change Management (ECM) modules, where software constraints are used to define relationships and dependencies between different components or products.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system detects that there are conflicting or duplicate entries in the software constraints for a particular business object. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Entries: Two or more entries in the software constraints that refer to the same component or product.
  Conflicting Constraints: Constraints that cannot coexist due to logical or functional conflicts.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been manual entries that were not properly validated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Redundant Entries: Review the software constraints associated with the business object mentioned in the error message. Look for duplicate or conflicting entries.
  
  
  Remove or Modify Duplicates: If you find duplicate entries, remove or modify them to ensure that each constraint is unique and does not conflict with others.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that the constraints logically fit together and do not contradict each other. If necessary, consult with a subject matter expert to understand the relationships between the components.
  
  
  Data Validation: If the data was migrated, perform a thorough validation to ensure that all entries are correct and do not contain duplicates or conflicts.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the business object to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the software constraints function as intended.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like PLM_EC01 (for Engineering Change Management) or PLM_EC02 to manage and review software constraints.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help guides related to PLM and software constraints for more detailed information on how to manage these entries.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the /PLMI/ESD_BO011 error and ensure that your software constraints are correctly configured.
