How To Fix SCPR551 - Invalid value &1 of parameter &2 in function module call &3


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: SCPR - BC Sets

  • Message number: 551

  • Message text: Invalid value &1 of parameter &2 in function module call &3

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The program calls the function module '&V3&' with the invalid value '
    &V1&' for interface parameter '&V2&'.
    The value is either:
    generally invalid for this parameter, or
    only invalid for this parameter in the current program context (other
    interface parameter values, calling program, function to be performed,
    system settings, etc.)
    To run the function module successfully, all interface parameters passed
    must have values which are valid in the current program context.

    System Response

    The function module is cancelled and an exception is raised. The further
    consequences depend on the handling of the exception in the calling
    program. Usually, the current action is cancelled and this error message
    sent.

    How to fix this error?

    Determine whether the value of the parameter is generally invalid, or
    only invalid in the current program context, and what the value should
    have been. The function module documentation should tell you which
    values are valid in which program context, although parameters are often
    only passed on through program levels, and this parameter may only be a
    described in detail in the documentation of a higher-level function
    module or class.
    Ensure that a valid value is passed.
    If you cannot do so, contact SAP.
