• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES182 - Difference betw. adjustment start and end is not a multiple of frequency ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES182 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the adjustment start and end dates in relation to the defined frequency for a particular process or operation. This typically occurs in the context of maintenance planning or scheduling, where adjustments are made to maintenance plans or tasks.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the difference between the adjustment start date and the adjustment end date is not a multiple of the defined frequency. For example, if the frequency is set to monthly, the difference between the two dates should also be a multiple of one month (e.g., 1 month, 2 months, etc.). If the difference is, say, 45 days, it would not be a valid adjustment since it does not align with the defined frequency.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Frequency Settings: Review the frequency settings for the maintenance plan or task. Ensure that the frequency is set correctly according to your operational requirements.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: Modify the adjustment start and end dates so that the difference between them is a multiple of the defined frequency. For example, if the frequency is monthly, ensure that the difference is in whole months.
  
  
  Review Maintenance Plan: If applicable, check the maintenance plan to ensure that it is configured correctly and that the adjustment dates align with the planned maintenance cycles.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to handle maintenance plans and adjustments.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
