• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_CUS_TD001 - Default tab is not set for &1 &2; set the default tab ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_CUS_TD001 Default tab is not set for &1 &2; set the default tab typically occurs in the context of the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module, particularly when dealing with the configuration of tabs in a user interface or transaction.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that a default tab has not been configured for a specific object or transaction type. The placeholders &1 and &2 usually represent the object type and the specific instance (like a document or a project) that you are trying to access. Without a default tab set, the system does not know which tab to display when the user accesses the object.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to set a default tab for the specified object type. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Navigate to the relevant section for PLM configuration. This may vary based on your specific implementation, but you are generally looking for settings related to the user interface or tab configuration.
  
  
  
  Set Default Tab:
  
  Look for the configuration option that allows you to define default tabs for specific object types. This could be under a section like "Product Structure" or "Document Management."
  Identify the object type that corresponds to the error message (using the values of &1 and &2).
  Set the default tab for that object type. This usually involves selecting a tab from a list and marking it as the default.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After setting the default tab, save your changes and exit the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Go back to the transaction or object that was causing the error and check if the issue is resolved. The system should now display the default tab you configured.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files specific to your version of PLM for detailed instructions on tab configuration.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in PLM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and set the default tab for the specified object type in SAP PLM.
