• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCF276 - Only attachments allowed (Notif. type &1 does not include screen 130) ?

  The SAP error message COCF276, which states "Only attachments allowed (Notif. type &1 does not include screen 130)," typically occurs in the context of notifications in SAP, particularly when dealing with the attachment functionality in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to attach a document or file to a notification type that does not support the attachment functionality. Specifically, the notification type you are using does not include the necessary screen (screen 130) that allows for attachments. This can happen if:
  
  The notification type is not configured to allow attachments.
  The screen sequence for the notification type does not include the attachment screen.
  There may be a configuration issue in the notification type settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Notification Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
  Navigate to the relevant path for notification types (e.g., Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Notifications -> Notification Types).
  Find the notification type that is causing the error and check its configuration.
  
  
  
  Include Screen 130:
  
  Ensure that screen 130 (which is responsible for handling attachments) is included in the screen sequence for the notification type.
  You may need to modify the screen sequence to include screen 130 if it is not already present.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to attach documents to notifications. Sometimes, authorization issues can also lead to unexpected errors.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Notification Types:
  
  If possible, try using a different notification type that is known to support attachments to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to notifications and attachments for any additional configuration steps that may be required.
