• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABV_CHARGE_MSG070 - Charges sched., cat. &1, &2 not permitted: Only relative charge ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABV_CHARGE_MSG070 indicates that there is an issue with the charge scheduling in the context of a project or maintenance order. The message specifically states that the charges for the specified category (indicated by &1 and &2) are not permitted because only relative charges are allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Charge Type Restriction: The error typically arises when you are trying to assign a charge that is not a relative charge to a scheduling category that only accepts relative charges. This could be due to configuration settings in the system that restrict certain types of charges.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the charge categories in the system may not allow for absolute charges or fixed charges, which could lead to this error.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an error in the data entry where an incorrect charge type is being used for the scheduling category.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Charge Type: Verify that the charge type you are trying to use is indeed a relative charge. If it is not, you will need to either change the charge type or adjust the scheduling category to accept the type of charge you are trying to use.
  Review Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for charge categories in the SAP system. Ensure that the settings allow for the type of charge you are trying to apply. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to make necessary adjustments.
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, review the entries made for the charges and correct any mistakes. Ensure that the correct charge categories and types are being used.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on charge categories and their configurations.
