• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM201 - No notification type is specified (-> Customizing is not maintained) ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM201 No notification type is specified (-> Customizing is not maintained) typically occurs in the context of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module, particularly when working with notifications. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a notification type that has been configured in the system, which is necessary for creating or processing notifications.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Customizing Settings: The most common cause of this error is that the notification type has not been defined in the system's customizing settings. This can happen if the configuration was not completed or if the relevant settings were deleted or not transported correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the notification types, such as incorrect assignment or missing entries in the relevant tables.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the notification types.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO).
  Navigate to Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Maintenance Processing > Notification > Notification Types.
  Ensure that the notification types are defined and properly configured. If they are missing, you will need to create them.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Notification Types:
  
  If the notification type is missing, create a new notification type by defining its attributes (e.g., description, status, etc.).
  If the notification type exists but is not functioning correctly, review its configuration and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or process notifications. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported from another system, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality by attempting to create or process a notification again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to notification types or the error message in question.
