This can happen in various scenarios, such as when calling a function module, method, or BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface).
  Cause:
  
  
  Parameter Mismatch: The parameter being passed does not exist in the interface of the function module or method. This could be due to:
  
  Typographical errors in the parameter name.
  Changes in the function module or method interface that have not been reflected in the calling program.
  Incorrectly defined or missing parameters in the calling program.
