  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /FTI/BO_STRUCT015 - Length of ID is greater than valid length ?

    The SAP error message /FTI/BO_STRUCT015 Length of ID is greater than valid length typically occurs in the context of SAP's Financial Transaction Interface (FTI) or related modules where there are constraints on the length of identifiers (IDs) being processed. This error indicates that the length of an ID being used exceeds the maximum allowed length defined in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Exceeding Length Limits: The ID being processed (such as a business object ID, document ID, etc.) exceeds the predefined length limit set in the SAP system.
    2. Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or data import processes may lead to IDs being longer than expected.
    3. Configuration Issues: The system configuration may not align with the data being processed, leading to mismatches in expected ID lengths.

    Solution:

    1. Check ID Length: Review the ID that is causing the error and ensure it adheres to the maximum length defined in the system. You can refer to the relevant documentation or configuration settings to find the valid length.
    2. Data Validation: Implement validation checks in your data entry or import processes to ensure that IDs do not exceed the allowed length before they are processed.
    3. Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system to accommodate longer IDs, if that is a valid business requirement. This may involve working with your SAP Basis or technical team.
    4. Error Handling: Implement error handling in your processes to catch such errors early and provide meaningful feedback to users.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common errors.
    • Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation for the module you are working with to understand the constraints and requirements for IDs.
    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE37 (Function Modules) to investigate the structure of the IDs and their definitions.
    • Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the issue is resolved and that no new issues are introduced.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.

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.
