  The SAP error message UA_MES011 indicates that there is a conflict in the variant settings for the iPPE (Integrated Product and Process Engineering) import. Specifically, it suggests that the variant you are trying to use contains values for both the filter and focus, which is not allowed.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:

  Open the variant in question and review its settings.
  
  
  
  Modify the Variant:
  
  Ensure that the variant only contains either filter criteria or focus criteria, but not both.
  If you need to use both, consider creating two separate variants: one for the filter and one for the focus.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to run the iPPE import again using the modified variant to see if the error persists.
