• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCMB_BAPI082 - PARTNER and CARRIER_LOCATION cannot be used at the same time ?

  The SAP error message SCMB_BAPI082 indicates that there is a conflict in the parameters being used in a Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) call related to supply chain management. Specifically, it states that the parameters PARTNER and CARRIER_LOCATION cannot be used simultaneously in the same context.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when both the PARTNER and CARRIER_LOCATION fields are populated in a BAPI call, which is not allowed. The system expects either one of these fields to be used, but not both at the same time. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Data Mapping: The data being sent to the BAPI may have both fields filled due to a programming error or incorrect data mapping.
  Business Logic Violation: The business logic defined in the BAPI may dictate that only one of these parameters is relevant for the operation being performed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the BAPI Call: Check the code or configuration where the BAPI is being called. Ensure that only one of the fields (PARTNER or CARRIER_LOCATION) is populated based on the business requirements.
  
  
  Conditional Logic: Implement conditional logic in your code to ensure that if one field is populated, the other is left empty. For example:
  IF NOT partner IS INITIAL.
      carrier_location = ''.
  ELSEIF NOT carrier_location IS INITIAL.
      partner = ''.
  ENDIF.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to understand the expected parameters and their usage.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the BAPI call to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the desired functionality is achieved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: Check the SAP Help Portal or the specific BAPI documentation for details on parameter usage.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue or provide additional context.
  Debugging: If you have access to the SAP system, use debugging tools to trace the BAPI call and see the values being passed to identify where the conflict arises.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SCMB_BAPI082 error and ensure that your BAPI calls are functioning correctly.
