• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BANK_CHDOC_TOOL118 - Function not supported in batch mode ?

  The SAP error message "BANK_CHDOC_TOOL118 Function not supported in batch mode" typically occurs when a function or transaction that is intended to be executed in a dialog mode is attempted to be run in batch mode. This can happen in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with bank communication or document processing.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Processing Limitation: The function you are trying to execute is not designed to run in batch mode. Some functions in SAP require user interaction or specific dialog inputs that cannot be provided in a batch process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not aligned with the requirements of the function you are trying to execute.
  Incorrect Program Logic: If you are using a custom program or report, there may be logic that incorrectly attempts to call a dialog function in a batch context.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Functionality: Review the documentation for the specific function you are trying to use to confirm whether it supports batch processing. If it does not, you will need to find an alternative approach.
  Use Dialog Mode: If the function must be executed in dialog mode, consider running it interactively rather than in a batch job.
  Modify Custom Code: If you are using custom ABAP code, ensure that the function calls are appropriate for batch processing. You may need to refactor the code to avoid calling dialog functions in a batch context.
  Review Batch Job Configuration: Ensure that the batch job is configured correctly and that it is not attempting to execute functions that require user interaction.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes or updates regarding this error message. There may be patches or updates that address this issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Review the SAP Help Portal for documentation related to the specific function or transaction you are using.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered and resolved similar issues.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to bank communication (e.g., FF_5, FF_6) to understand their intended use and limitations.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
