• Message number: 495

• Message text: Entered key combination is not allowed

What causes this issue?

You wanted to create a condition record and entered a key combination
with condition type &V1&, access sequence &V2&, and condition table &V3&
, for which the system does not allow a condition record based on
current Customizing. The Customizing settings do not allow this kind of
combination, therefore you cannot save the condition record. The reason
could be one or more of the following:
A required entry is missing in a key field.
A key field is not a required entry field anymore because, in
Customizing, the initial indicator is set for at least one of the
affected item fields.

System Response

The system prevents you from saving this condition record.

How to fix this error?

In Customizing activity <LS>Define Access Sequences</>, check all
accesses in the access sequence &V2& for condition type &V1&.


Please contact your support consultant.
