• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPE4170 - Mark a row that is not a template ?

  The SAP error message PPE4170, which states "Mark a row that is not a template," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module, particularly when working with planning tables or templates.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when a user attempts to perform an action (like editing or deleting) on a row in a planning table that is designated as a template. Templates are predefined settings or configurations that are not meant to be modified directly. The system requires that you select a row that is not a template to perform the desired action.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Row: Check the row you are trying to modify. Ensure that it is not marked as a template. Templates are often visually distinct (e.g., highlighted or marked with a specific icon).
  
  
  Select a Non-Template Row: If you need to perform an action, make sure to select a row that is not a template. You may need to create a new entry or modify an existing non-template row.
  
  
  Review Template Settings: If you need to change the template itself, you may need to access the template settings or configuration options in the system. This typically requires appropriate permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to handle templates in the context of your planning table.
  
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify the rows in the planning table. If you do not have the required access, contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Training and Documentation: Review any training materials or user guides related to the PP/DS module to better understand how to work with templates and planning tables.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
