  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2364 - The field & cannot be used as an import field from &! See F4! ?

    The SAP error message M2364 indicates that a specific field cannot be used as an import field in a particular context. This error typically arises when there is an issue with the data being passed to a function module, BAPI, or other interface where the field is expected to be populated with valid data.

    Cause:

    1. Field Definition: The field in question may not be defined as an import field in the function module or BAPI you are trying to use.
    2. Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the field being passed may not match the expected data type in the function module or BAPI.
    3. Field Status: The field may be set to a status that does not allow it to be used as an import field (e.g., it might be a display-only field).
    4. Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with how the fields are mapped in the calling program or interface.

    Solution:

    1. Check Field Definition: Review the function module or BAPI documentation to ensure that the field is indeed defined as an import field. You can do this by using transaction SE37 (for function modules) or SE80 (for BAPIs).
    2. Verify Data Types: Ensure that the data type of the field you are trying to pass matches the expected data type in the function module or BAPI. You can check this in the data dictionary (transaction SE11).
    3. Review Field Status: Check if the field is set to a status that allows it to be used as an import field. If it is a display-only field, you may need to find an alternative field that can be used.
    4. Correct Mapping: If you are using a custom program or interface, ensure that the fields are correctly mapped and that you are passing the correct values to the function module or BAPI.
    5. Use F4 Help: The error message suggests using F4 help for more information. Pressing F4 on the field in question may provide additional context or options for valid entries.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use SE37 for function modules, SE80 for BAPIs, and SE11 for data dictionary objects.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific function module or BAPI you are using.
    • Debugging: If you have access, consider debugging the program to see the exact values being passed and where the error occurs.

    If the issue persists after checking these aspects, you may need to consult with your SAP technical team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
