• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCTM/PROC_CON006 - Program &1: interface parameter &2 is initial ?

  The SAP error message /SCTM/PROC_CON006 indicates that there is an issue with an interface parameter in a program, specifically that the parameter is initial (i.e., it has not been assigned a value). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or related processes where certain parameters are expected to be populated before the program can execute successfully.
  Cause:
  
  Uninitialized Parameter: The most common cause of this error is that a required interface parameter has not been initialized or assigned a value before the program is executed.
  Data Transfer Issues: If the program is expecting data from a previous step or transaction and that data is not available or was not transferred correctly, it can lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SCM system that are not set up correctly, leading to missing parameters.
  User Input: If the program relies on user input and the user did not provide the necessary information, this can also result in the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Parameter Initialization: Review the code or configuration to ensure that all required interface parameters are being initialized properly before the program is called.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution of the program and identify where the parameter is not being set. Look for any conditional logic that might prevent the parameter from being assigned.
  Review Data Flow: Ensure that any data required by the program is being passed correctly from previous steps or transactions. Check for any missing or incorrect data.
  Configuration Review: If applicable, review the configuration settings in the SCM system to ensure that all necessary parameters are defined and set up correctly.
  User Training: If the error is related to user input, consider providing additional training or documentation to ensure users understand what information is required.
  
  Related Information:
