• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSAM_SHMAE000 - Unknown function code: &1 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WSAM_SHMAE000 Unknown function code: &1
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or SAP Business Workflow when an unknown or invalid function code is encountered during processing.
  
  Cause
  
  The system received a function code (represented by &1 in the message) that it does not recognize or that is not defined in the current context.
  This can happen if:
  
  A custom workflow or program is calling a function code that is not registered or supported.
  There is a mismatch or inconsistency in the workflow container or task definition.
  The function code is misspelled or incorrectly passed.
  The workflow or task is using an outdated or incorrect version of a function module or method.
  There is a configuration or transport issue where the function code was not properly imported or activated.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Identify the Function Code:
  
  Check the exact function code passed in the error message (replace &1 with the actual code from your system logs).
  Look into the workflow or program that triggered the error to find where this function code is used.
  
  
  
  Verify Function Code Validity:
  
  Confirm that the function code is valid and supported in the current SAP system.
  Check the workflow task or container definitions to ensure the function code is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Customizing:
  
  Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) or PFTC (Task Maintenance) to review the workflow and task definitions.
  Verify that the function code is properly assigned and that the workflow steps are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If the function code is used in custom ABAP code or user exits, verify that the code is correct and consistent.
  Debug the workflow or program to see where the function code is passed and why it is unknown.
  
  
  
  Transport and Activation:
  
  Ensure that all relevant workflow objects, function modules, and configurations have been transported and activated correctly in the target system.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to the error message or the specific function code.
