' invalid catalog entry ' error when create shift note using FM COCF_SN_CREATE_PP

Question

I am trying to create a shift note using the Function Module COCF_SN_CREATE_PP but when I entered the category value I get error

invalid catalog entry

How can I fix that error to create the note.

The image from the SE37 for testing the FM:

I create the shift note with the same values in SHN1, and it created normal, if I entered a wrong value in category in FM, I get an error 'not exit value'. I want to create a shift note using FM (COCF_SN_CREATE_PP). but I got an error with the category.

Answer 1

You can try to omit this value while calling the FM, for me it works like this:

DATA: ret TYPE bapirettab.
DATA: num TYPE cocf_sn_notifnum.

CALL FUNCTION 'COCF_SN_CREATE_PP'
  EXPORTING
    i_workcenter          = '1111'
    i_incident_start_date = '20200609'
    i_incident_start_time = '101000'
  IMPORTING
    e_sn_number           = num
  TABLES
    et_return             = ret.

To verify your category input you can check QPCD table, all the categories reside in column CODE by KATALOGART = 5, however your customizing data can very.

Answer 2

I solved this problem finally, it was in the IMG activity.

You have checked the following settings in Customizing for the Shift Note in the IMG activity Catalogs and Catalog Profiles for Notification Type :

For the desired notification type, choose a catalog profile, such as 000000001 general catalog profile. In the Coding field, choose a catalog type, such as 9 defect types. check the Prerequisites: https://help.sap.com/erp_hcm_ias2_2015_02/helpdata/en/f9/d2b65334e6b54ce10000000a174cb4/content.htm?no_cache=true
