Demo Consumption System - OData - EPM problem: persisting THE product DATA has FAILED.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we're trying to insert a record into Products and receive the following error:

• SEPM_BOR_MESSAGES/001 -  EPM problem: persisting THE product DATA has FAILED.
• Error-Detail: /IWBEP/CX_EPM_BUSI_EXCEPTION - EPM problem: persisting THE product DATA has FAILED

Does anyone know what that means?!?!

This is the request we're sending:

Hi,

thanks for your response!

I tried with your workload and it worked.

Digging into the differences field by field, it turned out, that the QuantityUnit field is not allowed to be null although it is not marked with nullable=false in the metadata (and in OData nullable defaults to true if not specified, as far as I know).

Strange error message and bad that null is not allowed (how should one know?).

Anyway, your response helped me identifying the issue - thanks a lot!!!

Kind regards

Michaela
