SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CMX_POC_WI - PP-PI-PMA: PI Sheet Messages, SCM Add-On

• Message number: 037

• Message text: Dynamic signature strategy: Missing characteristic &1

What causes this issue?

You use the option to dynamically select signature strategies in
browser-bases process instruction sheets or work instructions. You use
the characteristic &V1& to assign the selected signature strategy to a
suitable parameter. This process instruction contains the
characteristics for the definition of the input field for the digital
signature, but the higher-level XStep of the process instruction has no
parameter that is assigned to the characteristic &V1&.

System Response

The semantic check of the process instruction returns an error. You
cannot use the process instruction for the dynamic selection and
assignment of signature strategies.

How to fix this error?

Maintain a suitable parameter that contains the characteristic &V1& as a
domain. Assign the value of the selected signature strategy to this
parameter. To do this, use the options of the dynamic function call in
the browser-based instruction sheet or work instruction.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
