  The SAP error message SEPM_BOR_MESSAGES027, which states "EPM problem: There is no schedule line data for item position &1," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Procurement Management (EPM) module. This error indicates that the system is unable to find schedule line data for a specific item in a purchase order or sales order.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Schedule Line Data: The most common cause of this error is that the item in question does not have any associated schedule line data. Schedule lines are necessary for determining delivery dates and quantities for items in a sales or purchase order.
  
  
  Incorrect Item Configuration: The item may not be configured correctly in the system, leading to the absence of schedule line data.
  
  
  Document Status: The document (purchase order or sales order) may be in a status that does not allow for schedule line data to be created or displayed.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing master data for the material or vendor.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Schedule Line Data: Verify if the schedule line data exists for the item in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant purchase order or sales order and checking the item details.
  
  
  Create Schedule Lines: If there are no schedule lines, you may need to create them. This can typically be done in the item details of the order by specifying the delivery dates and quantities.
  
  
  Review Item Configuration: Ensure that the item is correctly configured in the system. Check the material master data and ensure that it is set up for procurement or sales as needed.
  
  
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the document is in a status that allows for schedule line creation. If the document is blocked or in a status that prevents changes, you may need to resolve those issues first.
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks: Run consistency checks on the relevant master data (material, vendor, etc.) to ensure that all necessary data is present and correct.
