• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/AB_IBC_CNFG_I_G155 - Value ranges with and without COUNTER field were delivered for chara &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/AB_IBC_CNFG_I_G155 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the characteristics in the context of the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules. Specifically, it suggests that there are conflicting value ranges for a characteristic that has both a COUNTER field and a non-COUNTER field.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Value Ranges: The error typically arises when the system detects that a characteristic is defined with both a COUNTER and a non-COUNTER value range. This can happen if the configuration for the characteristic is not set up correctly or if there are inconsistencies in the data model.
  Data Model Issues: If the data model has been modified or if there are inconsistencies in the way characteristics are defined, it can lead to this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The characteristic might not be configured properly in the planning area or in the relevant settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Characteristic Configuration: Check the configuration of the characteristic in the relevant planning area. Ensure that the characteristic is defined correctly and that it is not simultaneously set up with both COUNTER and non-COUNTER value ranges.
  Adjust Value Ranges: If you find that both types of value ranges are defined, you will need to adjust the configuration to ensure that only one type is used. This may involve removing the COUNTER field or adjusting the non-COUNTER field settings.
  Data Model Validation: Validate the data model to ensure that there are no inconsistencies. This may involve checking the underlying data sources and ensuring that they align with the expected configuration.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of the software you are using. There may be specific guidelines or patches available that address this issue.
