• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCMR011 - Combination &1: Period of first cons is higher than divestiture period ?

  The SAP error message UCMR011 indicates that there is an issue with the combination of periods in a divestiture process. Specifically, it states that the period of the first consumption (cons) is higher than the divestiture period. This typically occurs in the context of asset management or financial transactions where the timing of asset consumption and divestiture must align correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Period Mismatch: The error arises when the period in which the asset is first consumed (e.g., used or depreciated) is set to a date that is later than the period in which the asset is being divested (sold or transferred).
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be incorrect settings in the asset master data or in the divestiture transaction that do not align the periods correctly.
  Data Entry Error: Manual entry errors during the setup of the asset or during the divestiture process can lead to this mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data to ensure that the first consumption period is correctly set. Make sure that it does not exceed the divestiture period.
  Adjust Periods: If the first consumption period is indeed set incorrectly, adjust it to a date that is earlier than or equal to the divestiture period.
  Review Transaction Data: Look at the divestiture transaction details to ensure that all dates and periods are correctly entered and aligned.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for asset management and divestiture processes to ensure compliance with the required procedures.
  Test in a Sandbox: If possible, replicate the issue in a test environment to understand the root cause and validate the solution before applying it in the production environment.

  User Roles: Ensure that users involved in the divestiture process have the appropriate roles and authorizations to make changes to asset data.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on proper asset management practices to prevent similar issues in the future.
