• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM082 - Only use 'EQ' or 'BT' conditions to restrict time ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM082 indicates that there is an issue with the conditions used to restrict time in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, this error arises when a user attempts to use a condition that is not allowed for time restrictions in the planning process.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system only permits the use of 'EQ' (Equal) or 'BT' (Between) conditions for time-related restrictions. If any other condition type (like 'NE' for Not Equal, 'GT' for Greater Than, 'LT' for Less Than, etc.) is used, the system will trigger this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Condition: Check the conditions you are using in your planning or selection profile. Ensure that you are only using 'EQ' or 'BT' for any time-related restrictions.
  
  
  Modify the Condition: If you find that you are using an unsupported condition, modify it to use either 'EQ' or 'BT'. For example:
  
  Change a condition from 'GT' (Greater Than) to 'BT' (Between) if you need to specify a range.
  Use 'EQ' if you are looking for a specific time point.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the planning process to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
