  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VKK_BAPI_PPLAN073 - Fill the business case number in the source structure ?

    The SAP error message "VKK_BAPI_PPLAN073 Fill the business case number in the source structure" typically occurs when you are trying to execute a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) related to business planning or financial transactions, and the required field for the business case number is not populated in the source structure.

    Cause:

    The error is caused by the absence of a business case number in the data structure that is being passed to the BAPI. The business case number is a critical identifier that the BAPI requires to process the request correctly. If this field is left empty or is not included in the data structure, the BAPI will raise this error.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you should ensure that the business case number is correctly populated in the source structure before calling the BAPI. Here are the steps you can take:

    1. Check the Source Structure: Review the structure of the data you are passing to the BAPI. Ensure that the field for the business case number is included.

    2. Populate the Business Case Number: If the field is missing, you need to add the business case number to the source structure. Make sure that the value you are providing is valid and corresponds to an existing business case in the system.

    3. Validate Input Data: Ensure that the business case number you are using is correct and exists in the relevant database tables. You can check this in the SAP GUI or through relevant transaction codes.

    4. Test the BAPI Call: After making the necessary changes, test the BAPI call again to see if the error persists. If the business case number is now correctly populated, the BAPI should execute without errors.

    5. Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the required fields for the BAPI you are using, refer to the SAP documentation or the BAPI's API documentation for detailed information on the required parameters.

    Related Information:

    • BAPI Documentation: Check the SAP Help Portal or the specific BAPI documentation for details on the required fields and their data types.
    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE37 (Function Module) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to explore the BAPI and its parameters.
    • Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the BAPI to see how the data is being processed and identify where the issue might be occurring.

    By ensuring that the business case number is correctly filled in the source structure, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully execute the BAPI.
