• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABR_PM_PLAUSIS355 - Minimum of &1 and maximum of &2 contracts must exist w/out included TCN ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABR_PM_PLAUSIS355 indicates that there is a validation issue related to the number of contracts that must exist without including a specific TCN (Transaction Code Number). This error typically arises in the context of contract management or project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with planning or scheduling contracts.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the system expects a minimum and maximum number of contracts to be present for a particular operation or transaction, but the current configuration does not meet these requirements. The placeholders &1 and &2 represent the minimum and maximum number of contracts that should exist, respectively. 
  This can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Data Entry Error: Incorrect or incomplete data entry when creating or managing contracts.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be configured correctly to recognize the contracts that should be included in the operation.
  Missing Contracts: The required contracts may not have been created or activated in the system.
  Exclusion of TCN: The specific TCN may be incorrectly excluded from the contract count, leading to a mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Contract Existence: Verify that the required number of contracts (as indicated by &1 and &2) exist in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant contract management transaction in SAP and checking the list of active contracts.

  Data Validation: Review the data entry for the contracts to ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly and that the contracts are active and valid.
  
  
  Include TCN: If the TCN is meant to be included in the contract count, check the settings or logic that determine whether a TCN is included or excluded. Adjust as necessary.
