• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/CUSTOM_FUNCTION013 - Program (&1) is not an executable program (type 1) ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/CUSTOM_FUNCTION013 Program (&1) is not an executable program (type 1) typically occurs in the context of the SAP Application Interface Framework (AIF). This error indicates that the system is trying to execute a program that is not recognized as an executable program by the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Program Type: The program specified in the error message is not of the correct type. In SAP, programs can have different types (e.g., executable, include, function module, etc.). The error suggests that the program is not of type '1', which is the type for executable programs.
  Incorrect Program Name: The program name might be misspelled or incorrectly specified in the configuration.
  Transport Issues: If the program was recently transported from another system, it might not have been activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the program may not have the necessary authorizations to run the program.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Program Type:
  
  Go to transaction SE38 or SE80 and check the program type of the specified program. Ensure that it is an executable program (type '1').
  
  
  
  Verify Program Name:
  
  Double-check the configuration where the program name is specified. Ensure that it is spelled correctly and corresponds to an existing executable program.
  
  
  
  Activate the Program:
  
  If the program was recently created or transported, ensure that it is activated. You can do this in SE38 by selecting the program and choosing the "Activate" option.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the program. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the AIF process to see where the program call is being made and what parameters are being passed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to AIF and the specific function you are trying to execute for any additional configuration steps that may be required.
