• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 00354 - OK code & is not allowed in batch input ?

  The SAP error message "00354 OK code & is not allowed in batch input" typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction in batch input mode that is not permitted. This error is related to the use of OK codes, which are command codes that trigger specific actions in SAP transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid OK Code: The OK code you are trying to use in the batch input session is not valid for batch processing. Some OK codes are designed for interactive use and cannot be executed in batch input mode.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions that prevent them from being executed in batch input mode due to their nature (e.g., they may require user interaction).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict the use of certain OK codes in batch input sessions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the OK Code: Review the OK code you are using in your batch input session. Ensure that it is valid for batch processing. Common OK codes that are often used in batch input include "SAVE", "BACK", and "EXIT".
  Modify the Batch Input Session: If the OK code is not valid, you may need to modify your batch input session to remove or replace the invalid OK code with a valid one.
  Use Alternative Methods: If the transaction cannot be executed in batch input mode, consider using other methods such as BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) or direct function module calls that can achieve the same result without the restrictions of batch input.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or transaction-specific guidelines to understand which OK codes are allowed for batch input for the specific transaction you are working with.
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the batch input has the necessary authorizations to perform the actions associated with the OK code.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Batch Input Sessions: These are used to automate data entry in SAP by simulating user input. They are created using transaction codes like SHDB (Batch Input Recorder).
  OK Codes: These are command codes that trigger specific actions in SAP. They are typically prefixed with a / (e.g., /N, /O, etc.).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or OK code you are using.
