Error message extract from SAP system. Copyright SAP SE.
The SAP error message CP222 "Invalid object (&)" typically occurs in the context of SAP's production planning and control (PP) or related modules when the system cannot find or recognize a specified object, such as a material, production order, or routing. The "&" symbol in the message is a placeholder for the specific object that is causing the issue.
Causes:
- Non-Existent Object: The object you are trying to access does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the object ID or because the object has not been created yet.
- Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate the specified object.
- Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database, such as missing entries or corrupted data.
- Incorrect Configuration: The system configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to recognize certain objects.
- Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or completely.
Solutions:
- Verify Object Existence: Check if the object (e.g., material, order, etc.) exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like MM03 for materials or CO03 for production orders.
- Check for Typos: Ensure that there are no typographical errors in the object ID you are trying to access.
- Review Authorizations: Make sure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the object. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
- Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks or reports to identify any inconsistencies in the data. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for this.
- Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to the object type in question to ensure everything is set up correctly.
- Transport Logs: If the object was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and complete.

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.
