  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CUM/MSG407 - You may only specify values in parameter & or & ?

    The SAP error message /CUM/MSG407 typically indicates that there is an issue with the parameters being passed to a function or transaction. The message states that you may only specify values in certain parameters, which are represented by & in the error message. This usually means that the system is expecting values for specific parameters, and any additional parameters that are not allowed are causing the error.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Parameter Usage: The error often arises when a user tries to input values into parameters that are not permitted for the specific transaction or function module.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the system that restricts the use of certain parameters.
    3. Version Compatibility: If you are using a custom or third-party solution, it may not be compatible with the current version of SAP you are using.

    Solution:

    1. Check Parameter Documentation: Review the documentation for the transaction or function module you are using to ensure you are only entering values in the allowed parameters.
    2. Remove Unnecessary Inputs: If you have filled in values for parameters that are not allowed, remove those values and only specify the parameters that are indicated in the error message.
    3. Consult with SAP Support: If you are unsure about which parameters are valid, or if you believe this is a system error, consult with your SAP support team or check SAP Notes for any related issues.
    4. Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the transaction to see where the error is being triggered and identify the problematic parameters.

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.
