• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/FH_CONV_XML_IMP114 - Could not create Buba-specific message ID; missing sender BIC ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/FH_CONV_XML_IMP114 indicates that there is an issue related to the processing of XML messages, specifically in the context of Buba (Bundesbank) transactions. The error message states that a Buba-specific message ID could not be created due to a missing sender BIC (Bank Identifier Code).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Sender BIC: The primary cause of this error is that the system does not have a configured sender BIC. The BIC is essential for identifying the bank that is sending the message, and without it, the system cannot generate the required message ID.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to the Buba interface or the message processing settings in SAP.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect or incomplete data entries in the relevant configuration tables or transaction data can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP for the Buba interface.
  Ensure that the sender BIC is correctly configured in the system. This can typically be found in the transaction codes related to bank communication or payment processing (e.g., OBPM1 for payment methods).
  Verify that the BIC is correctly assigned to the relevant company code or bank account.
  
  
  
  Maintain BIC in Master Data:
  
  If the sender BIC is missing, you may need to maintain it in the bank master data. Use transaction code FI01 or FI02 to create or change the bank master data and ensure the BIC is entered.
  
  
  
  Check Message Type Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the message type being used for the transaction is correctly configured to include the sender BIC. This may involve checking the settings in transaction codes like OBPM4 or OBPM5.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  If the error occurs during a specific transaction, review the transaction data to ensure that all required fields, including the sender BIC, are filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the Buba interface for any specific requirements or additional configuration steps that may be necessary.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring the Buba interface.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to bank communication and payment processing, as they will be essential for troubleshooting and configuration.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the error is resolved and that messages can be processed correctly.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP banking interfaces.
