SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SRM_GENERIC_SP - SRM: Generic Service Provider

• Message number: 812

• Message text: Specified anchor not found in the model

What causes this issue?

For each infotype/subtype, the system tries to find a marker (anchor)
in the record model, at which point it can insert the infotype/subtype
into the record. For each infotype/subtype, the system makes up to
three search attempts. It searches for values of the attribute ANCHOR
in the following order:
<Value entered in the input template><Infotype number>
<Value entered in the input template>
<*> (anchor of the model node <ZK>worklist element</>, which is created
by default as the top node in every record model).
One of the three checks could not be executed.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
