• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMEVC_UI499 - Table with pre- and suffix rules is empty ?

  The SAP error message PMEVC_UI499, which states "Table with pre- and suffix rules is empty," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Variant Configuration (VC) modules. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any pre- or suffix rules that are necessary for processing certain configurations or product variants.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration Data: The error usually arises when the relevant configuration tables that store pre- and suffix rules are empty or not properly maintained.
  Incorrect Customization: If the system has been customized, it is possible that the necessary rules were not set up correctly or were inadvertently deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that resulted in missing data.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the configuration data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration Tables: Verify that the relevant tables for pre- and suffix rules (e.g., TSK1, TSK2) are populated with the necessary data. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 or SE16 to view the contents of these tables.
  Maintain Rules: If the tables are empty, you will need to create or maintain the pre- and suffix rules. This can typically be done through the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Review Customization: If there have been recent changes or customizations, review them to ensure that they have not inadvertently affected the configuration rules.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user encountering the error has the appropriate authorizations to access and modify the configuration data.
