SAP Message C0342 - - Characteristic & & cannot be used in this position

Diagnosis
Characteristic &V1& &V2& specifies which authorization is required toenter a signature. You may only use this characteristic in process datarequests and only at the following positions:

  • In data requests in which a message is requested with a signature
  • (characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE), directly after the input value for thesignature
    • In data requests with input validations, directly after characteristic
    • PPPI_ACCEPT_INVALID_INPUT, provided that it allows invalid input valuesWith signature only
      However, in this process instruction none of the above characteristicshas been assigned before characteristic &V1& &V2&.

      Procedure
      RESET N1
      In data requests that request a message with a signature

      • If characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE has not been assigned to the process
      • instruction, insert it as an input value before characteristic &V1&V2.
        For more detailed information on how to define input values, seeExtended Help.
        • If characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE is assigned to the process
        • instruction, move characteristic &V1& &V2& to the position immediatelyafter it.
          To do so, change the sort number of the characteristics.
          In data requests with input validation
          • If a signature is required to accept invalid input values:

          • RESET N2
            Make sure that characteristic PPPI_ACCEPT_INVALID_INPUT and its valueWith signature only is assigned after the validation rule(PPPI_VALIDATION_FORMULA) or the warning (PPP_TEXT_FOR_INVALID_INPUT).
            Move characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE_AUTHORIZATION to the position aftercharacteristic PPPI_ACCEPT_INVALID_INPUT.
            • If a signature is not required to accept invalid input values, delete
            • characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE_AUTHORIZATION from the processinstruction.
              In all other process instructions
