How To Fix UPC_FW071 - Object was not moved

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UPC_FW - Messages for Planning Framework, Areas, Levels and Packages

• Message number: 071

• Message text: Object was not moved

What causes this issue?

You have attempted to move an object into another position. However the
desired target position is not allowed.
It is only possible to move objects within the list of objects, which
are assigned to the same object. This means, you can change the order
of objects within a list, but you cannot 'remove' objects from a list
and insert them into another list. You cannot move any objects into a
list, which contains different kinds of objects (for example moving a
planning package into a list of planning areas).
&System_Response&
The original position of the object is not changed.

How to fix this error?

Only move an object within the list which it is already in. The object
is arranged in the list behind the object, on which you positioned the
object to be moved.
Example: The planning levels E1, E2 und E3 (in that order) are in a
planning area. You want to change the levels into the order {E2, E3,
E1}. Select E1 and move the level, by pressing the left mouse button,
to E3; let go of the mouse button. The system assigns E1 behind E3,
resulting in the desired order {E2, E3, E1}.

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