• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/PARS008 - Tow logical operators (AND/OR) cannot follow each other ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/PARS008 indicates that there is a syntax issue in a query or selection criteria where two logical operators (AND/OR) are used consecutively without a valid condition in between. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where complex queries are constructed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an incorrect logical expression in the selection criteria. For example, if you have a condition like:
  Condition1 AND OR Condition2
  This is invalid because there is no condition following the first logical operator (AND) before the second logical operator (OR).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to review the selection criteria or query where the error is occurring. Here are the steps to fix it:
  
  
  Identify the Query: Locate the specific query or selection criteria that is causing the error. This could be in a report, a planning book, or a selection screen.
  
  
  Check Logical Operators: Ensure that each logical operator (AND/OR) is followed by a valid condition. For example, you should structure your conditions like this:
  
  Condition1 AND Condition2
  Condition1 OR Condition2
  Condition1 AND (Condition2 OR Condition3)
  
  
  
  Correct the Syntax: Modify the query to ensure that there are no consecutive logical operators without conditions in between. For example, change:
  
  Condition1 AND OR Condition2
  To: Condition1 AND Condition2 or Condition1 OR Condition2
  
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary changes, test the query again to ensure that it executes without errors.
