The SAP error message BRF274 ("The short text does not have any fourth message variable") typically occurs in the context of Business Rule Framework (BRF+) when there is an issue with the message text configuration. This error indicates that the system is expecting a fourth message variable in the short text of a message, but it is not defined.
Cause:
- Message Configuration: The error usually arises when a message is defined with a certain number of variables, but the short text of the message does not include all the expected variables. For example, if a message is defined to have four variables, but the short text only includes three, this error will occur.
- Incorrect Message Usage: The message might be invoked incorrectly in the BRF+ rules or expressions, leading to a mismatch between the expected and actual number of variables.
Solution:
Check Message Definition:
- Go to the BRF+ workbench and check the message definition that is causing the error.
- Ensure that the short text of the message includes all the required variables. If the message is supposed to have four variables, make sure that the short text is defined accordingly.
Modify the Short Text:
- If the short text is missing the fourth variable, you can either add it to the short text or modify the message definition to reduce the number of expected variables to match the short text.
Review Rule Logic:
- Check the rules or expressions where the message is being called. Ensure that the correct number of parameters is being passed when invoking the message.
Testing:
- After making the necessary changes, test the BRF+ application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the messages are displayed correctly.

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.
