How To Fix UCUS0052 - Task &2: Method &1 cannot be used

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCUS0 - Messages for Tasks, ...

• Message number: 052

• Message text: Task &2: Method &1 cannot be used

What causes this issue?

You have assigned method &V1& to copy task &V2&. This is not possible,
however, because method &V1& copies across different
<DS:GLOS.D5692F24DA2CD511BCBF0800060D9C68>consolidation areas</>. The
system is unable to determine the source tasks that can be specified in
the copy task if such source tasks are located in a different
consolidation area.
Method &V1& can be used only in data collection tasks.
When this is being done, method &V1& does not necessarily need to belong
to the <DS:GLOS.3526B791AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>period category</>
currently displayed; it can also belong to a different period category.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You have the following options:
Choose a suitable method for task &V2& that does not copy across
different consolidation areas.
Assign method &V1& to a data collection method and then assign the data
collection method to a data collection task. Then you can use the data
collection task for copying.
