VF_PRC_CPF003 - Details

• The SAP error message:
  VF_PRC_CPF003 Data Source Routine &1: parameter &2 must be of type &3
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs during the billing document pricing procedure when a user-defined or standard Data Source Routine (a user-exit or enhancement routine used in pricing) is called with parameters that do not match the expected data types.
  
  &1 = Name of the Data Source Routine (e.g., a function module or form routine)
  &2 = Name of the parameter passed to the routine
  &3 = Expected data type of the parameter
  
  The message indicates that the parameter &2 passed to the routine &1 is not of the expected data type &3. This mismatch can happen if the routine is called incorrectly, or if the routine's interface has been changed but the calling program was not updated accordingly.
  
  Common Causes
  
  Custom coding in pricing user-exits (e.g., in routines like RV61AFZZ, RV61AFZ1, or other user-defined routines) where parameters are incorrectly declared or passed.
