Entries for infotype &1 are contradictory

Message text: Entries for infotype &1 are contradictory



What causes this issue?

Two contradictory entries exist in the "Infotypes - Country-Specific
Settings" table (T582L) for infotype &V1&. One entry defines the status
for all country groupings and all subtypes, while the other entry
defines the status for a specific country grouping or subtype. This
does not make sense, as it is not clear which status should be used for
special cases.


Example
Infty,,Infotype text,,Type,,Name,,CGrpg,,Name,,Status
9000 ,,Test,,* ,,all subt.,,* ,,all CGrpg ,,not permitted
9000 ,,Test,,* ,,all subt.,,01 ,,German.,,permitted
The first entry locks infotype 9000 for all subtypes and all country
groupings. However, the second entry means that infotype 9000 can be
used for the Germany country grouping (01). This is the contradiction.


How to fix this error?

Correct the entries accordingly. In the above example, you must delete
the second entry, if infotype 9000 is not to be used any more. If the
infotype must be available for certain country groupings, you must
delete the first entry.
