• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SO317 - Only parameters which do not occur in table TPARA are allowed ?

  The SAP error message SO317 ("Only parameters which do not occur in table TPARA are allowed") typically occurs when there is an issue with the parameters being used in a function or transaction that are not allowed due to their presence in the TPARA table. The TPARA table in SAP is used to store parameters for various applications, and certain parameters are restricted from being modified or used in specific contexts.
  Cause:

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources to understand the specific parameters and their allowed usage.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access or modify the parameters. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
