• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_VIP043 - Validity date different between change number and explosion parameters ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPE_VIP043 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the validity date of a change number and the explosion parameters in the context of a variant configuration or production planning scenario. This error typically arises when the system is trying to process a configuration or a production order that involves a change number, but the validity dates do not align correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Change Number Validity: The change number may have a validity period that does not match the validity of the parameters being used for the explosion. This can happen if the change number is not active for the date on which the explosion is being processed.
  Parameter Validity: The parameters (like BOM, routing, etc.) that are being used for the explosion may have their own validity dates that do not coincide with the change number's validity.
  Configuration Settings: There may be settings in the variant configuration that are not aligned with the change number or the parameters being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Change Number Validity: Verify the validity dates of the change number in the system. Ensure that the change number is active for the date you are trying to process the explosion.
  Review Parameter Validity: Check the validity dates of the parameters (like BOM, routing, etc.) that are being used in the explosion. Make sure they are valid for the same period as the change number.
  Adjust Dates: If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the validity dates of either the change number or the parameters to ensure they align.
  Use Correct Change Number: If the change number is not relevant for the current processing date, consider using a different change number that is valid for the required date.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant area (e.g., variant configuration, production planning) for further assistance.
