Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP680 - Parameter IV_START_MONITOR = 'X' with IV_SUBPROCESS_ID not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP680 Parameter IV_START_MONITOR = 'X' with IV_SUBPROCESS_ID not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with the parameters being passed to a function module or report related to monitoring processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Parameter Combination: The error indicates that the combination of the parameters IV_START_MONITOR and IV_SUBPROCESS_ID is not allowed. This usually means that when you set IV_START_MONITOR to 'X' (which typically indicates that monitoring should start), you cannot also specify a IV_SUBPROCESS_ID.
  
  
  Function Module Logic: The logic within the function module or report may be designed such that monitoring cannot be initiated for a specific subprocess. This could be due to the way the monitoring is implemented in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Parameter Values: Review the values being passed to the function or report. If you want to start monitoring, ensure that you do not set IV_SUBPROCESS_ID. If you need to specify a subprocess, set IV_START_MONITOR to a value that does not indicate monitoring (e.g., ' ' or '0').
  
  
  Modify the Call: If you are calling a function module or report programmatically, adjust the parameters accordingly. For example:
  
  If you want to start monitoring, call the function with IV_START_MONITOR = 'X' and IV_SUBPROCESS_ID not set.
  If you need to specify a subprocess, set IV_START_MONITOR to ' '.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for the specific function module or report to understand the expected parameter combinations and any restrictions.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the system, you can debug the function module to see how the parameters are being processed and identify where the error is being triggered.
