The message typically states that the value of the specified parameter (&1) is not correct, which can occur for several reasons.
  Causes:

  Missing Required Fields: If the parameter is mandatory and not provided, or if required fields within the parameter structure are missing, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the value being passed does not match the expected data type for the parameter.
  
  
  Business Logic Constraints: The value may be valid in general but may not be valid in the context of the specific business logic or rules defined in the system.

  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the BAPI call to see the exact values being passed and identify where the issue lies.
  
  
  Consult with Functional Team: If you are unsure about the values or the business logic, consult with the functional team or business analysts who can provide insights into the expected values based on business processes.
