• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/SP_RCP_CPA013 - Output streams are not allowed in an ingredient constraint ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/SP_RCP_CPA013 Output streams are not allowed in an ingredient constraint typically occurs in the context of SAP's Process Integration (PI) or Process Orchestration (PO) when dealing with recipes or production processes in the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with how the ingredient constraints are defined in a recipe or process.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the inclusion of output streams in a context where only input streams (ingredients) are expected. In SAP PLM, ingredient constraints are meant to define the inputs required for a process, and output streams (which represent the products or by-products of the process) should not be included in these constraints.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Recipe or Process Definition: Check the recipe or process where the error is occurring. Ensure that you are only including input streams (ingredients) in the ingredient constraints.
  
  
  Modify Ingredient Constraints: If you have mistakenly included output streams in the ingredient constraints, remove them. Only define the necessary input streams that are required for the process.
  
  
  Validate the Recipe: After making the necessary changes, validate the recipe or process to ensure that it complies with the expected structure and does not contain any output streams in the ingredient constraints.
  
  
  Check Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define ingredient constraints in your specific version of SAP PLM.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
