  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOFU/COMMON012 - Given Table Type does not have structured line type ?

    The SAP error message /BOFU/COMMON012: Given Table Type does not have structured line type typically occurs when there is an issue with the definition of a table type in your ABAP program or function module. This error indicates that the table type you are trying to use does not have a structured line type, which is necessary for the operation you are attempting to perform.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Table Type Definition: The table type you are using may not be defined correctly in the Data Dictionary (SE11). It might be defined as a standard table type without a structured line type.
    2. Using a Non-Structured Table: You might be trying to use a table type that is defined as a standard table (with simple data types) instead of a structured table (with complex data types).
    3. Mismatch in Data Types: There could be a mismatch between the expected data type in the function module or method and the actual data type you are passing.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Type Definition:

      • Go to transaction SE11 and check the definition of the table type you are using. Ensure that it is defined as a structured table type.
      • If it is not, you may need to create a new table type with a structured line type.
    2. Modify the ABAP Code:

      • If you are using a standard table type, consider changing it to a structured table type in your ABAP code.
      • Ensure that the data you are passing to the function module or method matches the expected structure.
    3. Use Correct Data Types:

      • Make sure that the data types you are using in your ABAP program are compatible with the expected input types of the function module or method you are calling.
    4. Debugging:

      • If you are unsure where the error is occurring, use the ABAP debugger to step through your code and identify the exact point where the error is triggered.

    Related Information:

    • Data Dictionary (SE11): This is where you can define and manage table types, data elements, domains, and other data structures in SAP.
    • ABAP Development: Familiarity with ABAP programming and data types is essential for resolving this error.
    • Function Module Documentation: Check the documentation for the function module or method you are using to understand the expected input parameters and their types.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
