• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PYC_CONF_CONS_CHECK084 - Policy &1 and policy type &2 have different time selection parameters ?

  The SAP error message PYC_CONF_CONS_CHECK084 indicates that there is a mismatch in the time selection parameters between two policies in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) or similar modules where policies are defined for various configurations.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Two policies (identified by &1 and &2) are being compared or used together, but they have different settings for time selection parameters. This could include differences in fiscal year settings, periods, or other time-related configurations.
  The policies may be intended to work together, but the inconsistency in their time parameters prevents them from being processed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Policies: Determine which two policies are causing the issue by checking the values of &1 and &2 in the error message.
  
  
  Review Time Selection Parameters: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for both policies.
  Compare the time selection parameters (e.g., fiscal year variant, periods, etc.) for both policies.
  
  
  
  Align the Parameters: 
  
  If the policies are meant to be used together, adjust the time selection parameters of one or both policies to ensure they match.
  If the policies are not intended to be used together, ensure that the correct policy is being referenced in your process.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making adjustments, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the policies function as expected.
  
  
  Documentation and Support: If you are unsure about the changes or if the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation for your specific module or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
