How To Fix 00555 - Program & cannot be scheduled

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 00 -

• Message number: 555

• Message text: Program & cannot be scheduled

What causes this issue?

During a background processing request, a program was specified which
cannot be scheduled. Programs which can be scheduled are particularly
distinguished by a defined starting point (for example, the classical
ABAP/4 programs or predefined model jobs). Programs which cannot be
csheduled are, for example, module pools or function pools.

System Response

The background processing request cannot be successfully completed with
the entered program name. The system displays the scheduling screen on
which the field for entering the program name is ready for input, so
that corrections can be made here.

How to fix this error?

There are two options for eliminating this problem situation:
Correct the program name, so that a program which can be scheduled
(that is a program with a defined starting point) is referenced by the
improved name.
Correct the attributes of the originally entered program. This option
is recommended if the attributes of the program to be scheduled clearly
have incorrect values. Correct the attributes using the program editor.
