• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R7 - BW: Data basis

• Message number: 583

• Message text: Char. &1: Attribute &2 is time-dependent (cannot become time-independent)

What causes this issue?

You have changed the attribute &V2& for characteristic &V1& from
time-dependent to time-independent. An analysis of the master data
found that, over time, various values existed for the attribute. The
attribute is therefore time-dependent.

System Response

You can not change the attribute to time-independent.

How to fix this error?

You first have to delete master data from characteristic &V1& so that
the ambiguous forms of attribute &V2& will disappear over time. Only
afterwards can you change the attribute to time-independent.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7583 - Char. &1: Attribute &2 is time-dependent (cannot become time-independent) ?

  The SAP error message R7583 indicates that there is an issue with a characteristic in the context of time-dependent attributes in SAP. Specifically, it means that the characteristic you are trying to modify or use is defined as time-dependent, and the system does not allow it to be changed to a time-independent state.
  
  Cause:
  
  Time-Dependent Characteristics: The characteristic in question (denoted as &1) has been defined in such a way that its values can change over time. This is common in scenarios where the data is expected to evolve, such as pricing, availability, or other attributes that may vary based on time.
  Modification Attempt: You may be attempting to change the attribute (denoted as &2) from a time-dependent to a time-independent state, which is not permitted by the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Characteristic Definition: Check the definition of the characteristic in the SAP system. Ensure that you understand its time-dependent nature and the implications of that
