  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN353 - There is no allowed object type for application & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VN353 - There is no allowed object type for application &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to assign or use an object type in a Vendor Master or related application area, but the system does not find any allowed object types defined for the specified application. Essentially, the application area you are working with does not have any object types configured or assigned, so the system cannot proceed.

    In SAP, object types are used to classify and control various business objects. For example, in the context of Vendor Master (transaction XK01/XK02/XK03 or related), certain object types must be allowed for specific applications (like purchasing, accounting, etc.). If these are missing or not maintained, the system throws this error.


    Common Scenarios:

    • When creating or changing vendor master data, the system checks for allowed object types for the application area.
    • Customizing settings for object types in the IMG (Implementation Guide) are incomplete or missing.
    • The application parameter passed to the function/module does not have any object types assigned.

    Solution:

    1. Check and Maintain Allowed Object Types for the Application:

      • Go to SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG):
        SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Vendor Master ? Define Allowed Object Types for Application

      • Or more generally, depending on the module, check the configuration path where object types are assigned to applications.

    2. Assign Object Types to the Application:

      • Identify the application area mentioned in the error message (the placeholder & will be replaced by the application code).
      • Assign the relevant object types to this application.
      • Save and transport the changes if necessary.
    3. Verify the Application Code:

      • Sometimes the application code passed to the program or function module is incorrect or missing.
      • Check the program or transaction to ensure the correct application code is used.
    4. Check Authorization and User Exits:

      • In some cases, user exits or BAdIs might influence the object type determination.
      • Review any custom code that might affect this logic.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SPRO (for customizing)
      • Vendor Master transactions: XK01, XK02, XK03
    • Tables:
      • T161T (Object types descriptions)
      • T161 (Object types)
      • T161A (Allowed object types for applications)
    • Notes and Documentation:
      • Check SAP Notes related to vendor master and object types if the problem persists.
    • Debugging:
      • If you have development access, debug the program to see where the application code is checked against allowed object types.

    Summary:

    The error VN353 indicates missing configuration for allowed object types for a given application. To fix it, maintain the allowed object types in the customizing settings for the relevant application area. This ensures the system recognizes which object types are valid and can proceed with the vendor master or related process.


    If you provide the exact application code or context, I can help you with the precise customizing path or entries to maintain.
