• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPECMP353 - Error: low-level code > 999 for &1 &2 in maintenance of &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message PPECMP353 indicates that there is a problem with the low-level code in the context of maintenance of a particular object (like a maintenance order, work order, etc.). The error specifically states that the low-level code exceeds the maximum allowed value of 999.
  Cause:
  The low-level code is a numerical representation used in SAP to indicate the hierarchy or sequence of operations in a maintenance order or similar object. When the low-level code exceeds 999, it violates the system's constraints, leading to this error message. This can happen due to:

  Data Correction: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the low-level codes in the relevant transactions. This may involve editing the maintenance order or work order to ensure that all low-level codes are within the acceptable range.
