• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WA672 - Receiver type determination func. module &: Invalid name for a func. mod. ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WA672 Receiver type determination func. module &: Invalid name for a func. mod.
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to determine the receiver type in a workflow or ALE (Application Link Enabling) scenario using a function module, but the function module name provided is invalid or does not exist in the system.
  
  The error message indicates that the function module name specified for receiver determination is either:
  
  Incorrectly typed,
  Missing,
  Or the function module does not exist in the system repository.
  
  
  
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Workflow receiver determination,
  Partner profile configuration in ALE/IDoc processing,
  Or any custom receiver determination logic where a function module is called dynamically.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Typographical error in the function module name in the configuration.
  The function module was deleted or not yet created in the system.
  The function module is not released or active in the system.
  Incorrect configuration in the workflow or ALE partner profile where the function module name is maintained.
  Transport or system copy issues where the function module is missing in the target system.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check the function module name:
  
  Go to transaction SE37 (Function Builder).
  Enter the function module name used in the configuration.
  Verify if it exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Correct the function module name in configuration:
  
  For workflows: Check the receiver determination step or container binding where the function module is specified.
  For ALE/IDoc: Check partner profile (WE20) or distribution model (BD64) where the function module is maintained.
  Correct the name if there is a typo.
  
  
  
  Create or activate the function module:
  
  If the function module does not exist, create it or import it from the transport.
  Ensure it is active and released.
  
  
  
  Check authorization and system consistency:
  
  Make sure the user has authorization to execute the function module.
  If the system was recently copied or upgraded, verify that all custom function modules are transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If unsure which function module is causing the issue, enable debugging or check the workflow log / IDoc processing log to identify the exact function module name.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The function module used for receiver determination typically returns the receiver type or receiver ID based on input parameters.
  In workflows, the function module is often called in the receiver determination step to dynamically find the responsible user or organizational unit.
  In ALE/IDoc, function modules can be used to determine the partner type or receiver system dynamically.

  Error
  WA672 Receiver type determination func. module &: Invalid name for a func. mod.
  
  
  Cause
  Invalid or non-existent function module name in receiver determination configuration
  
  
  Solution
  Verify and correct the function module name; create or activate the function module if missing
  
  
  Transactions to check
  SE37 (Function Builder), SWDD (Workflow Builder), WE20 (Partner Profiles)
