SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message number: 846

  • Message text: Invalid mapping: 2 or more parameters refer to the same table &1

  • What causes this issue?

    In the current procedure call expression, you have defined an invalid
    mapping between the parameters of the expression and of the called
    method or function module. Two or more Exporting / Changing / Returning
    / Tables parameters are mapped to the same BRFplus table data object
    &v1&. This is not allowed for reasons that can best be explained by an
    example:
    Assume you have defined a parameter mapping like this:
    Parameter,,BRFplus Data Object,,Move Type
    ET_PARTNER_H,,DO_TBL_BUSPARTNER,,MOVE-CORRESPONDING (TMC)
    ET_PARTNER_I,,DO_TBL_BUSPARTNER,,MOVE-VALUE (TMV)
    Once the called procedure has been executed and is about to return
    control to the calling expression, both parameters are filled with the
    appropriate values. Since it is impossible for the procedure call
    expression to know how the parameters have been processed by the called
    method or function module, it could happen that the two parameters
    return the same table object with a different number of records. In such
    a situation, it would be impossible for the system to decide how to
    proceed with the concurrent states of the table object.

    System Response

    The expression cannot be activated.

    How to fix this error?

    Depending on your original intention, proceed as follows to solve this
    problem:
    Table data object has been intentionally passed twice to the called
    method or function module: Create a copy of table &v1& and use it for
    the second parameter. After the procedure call expression has been
    executed, merge the contents of the two tables with the help of an
    additional loop expression.
    Table data object has been passed twice by mistake: Create a second
    table data object to be passed as the second parameter.

    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.
