• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/CL_ICHDM_MSG008 - Use either the partner dependent or the internal parameter, not both ?

  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_ICHDM_MSG008 indicates that there is a conflict in the parameters being used in a certain transaction or function module. Specifically, it suggests that you are trying to use both partner-dependent parameters and internal parameters simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in scenarios where a function or method is expecting either partner-dependent parameters (which are specific to a business partner or customer) or internal parameters (which are system-wide or application-specific), but not both at the same time. The conflict can occur due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The settings in the configuration might be set up to use both types of parameters.
  Programming Error: If you are using a custom program or enhancement, there might be a logical error where both types of parameters are being passed to a function.
  Data Entry Error: In some cases, the user might inadvertently enter data that leads to both types of parameters being activated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Parameters: Check the parameters being passed to the function or method that triggered the error. Ensure that you are only using either partner-dependent or internal parameters, but not both.

  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can debug the program to see where the parameters are being set. Look for any logic that might be inadvertently setting both types of parameters.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific function or transaction to understand the expected input parameters.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. Provide them with details about the transaction, the parameters being used, and any relevant configuration settings.
