SE729
Component: MM-SRV (Services Management), Version: 8, Released On: 15.05.2023

Symptom
When you try to create/change/display a service related document like PR, PO, contract, service entry sheet
etc., Message No. SE729 (Customizing incorrectly maintained) is issued. You have checked SAP
Note 1382685 (/sap/support/notes/1382685), but it is still not clear how to make the adjustment

This KBA provides detailed steps how to compare the entries between table control and T162V, and how to
make the required adjustments

Reproducing the Issue

[Enter your Reproducing the Issue here...]

Cause
You have recently made an upgrade and the number of entries in table T162V is different to the number
of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP/400. If the numbers are the same, it can be that
entries in table T162V are different as the ones from the columns in the table
Since different customers maintain different number of entries for each variant, it would not be possible
to release a standard note to all customers to fix this. Moreover this cannot be fixed using the Note
Assistant, the changes have to be done manually

Resolution
First part:

https://userapps.support.sap.com/sap/support/sfm/notes/print/0002747917?language=E&token=DBD84659767043C1D895D56F93D46A4C 1/7

In the function module MS_READ_UNIT the system looks for a default UoM, at the item level, in the case of
the service line.

* Globale Daten zurückgeben

E_MEINS = T165-PUR_MEINS.

* Fehler bei Customizing

IF E_MEINS IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE E729.
ENDIF.

If T165-PUR_MEINS = blank, the error is displayed.

To avoid the error, you must maintain the default unit of measure at the client level (table field T165-
PUR_MEINS) or organizational level (table field T165E-PUR_MEINS).

You do not need to maintain the T165E table if you are not using default settings at an organizational level.

The solution is to set a default "Unit of Measure at Item Level" (T165-PUR_MEINS) using t-code ML91.

Second part:

the Service sub-screen, press the ‘Configuration’ icon to open the Table Settings screen
