• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/TDL_UTILS064 - TSDM time series type &1 is already active for version &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/TDL_UTILS064 indicates that there is an issue with the Time Series Data Management (TSDM) in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, the error states that a time series type (denoted as &1) is already active for a specific version (denoted as &2). This typically occurs when there is an attempt to activate a time series type that is already in use or has been activated previously.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Activation: The most common cause of this error is that the time series type you are trying to activate is already active for the specified version. This can happen if the activation process was attempted multiple times without deactivating the previous instance.
  Version Conflicts: There may be conflicts with the versioning of the time series data, where the system does not allow multiple active instances of the same time series type for a given version.
  Data Integrity Issues: There might be underlying data integrity issues in the TSDM setup that prevent the activation of the time series type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Time Series: Verify if the time series type is already active for the specified version. You can do this by navigating to the relevant TSDM transaction or using the appropriate report to list active time series types.
  Deactivate Existing Time Series: If you find that the time series type is indeed active and you need to activate it again, you may need to deactivate the existing instance first. This can usually be done through the TSDM management transactions.
  Review Versioning: Ensure that you are working with the correct version of the time series type. If you need to work with a different version, make sure to specify that version during the activation process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for TSDM to understand the specific requirements and limitations regarding time series types and their activation.
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, the error can be caused by locks on the time series data. Ensure that no other processes are currently using or locking the time series type you are trying to activate.
  
  Related Information:
