SAP Message USC511 - Communication type is missing or not suitable

Diagnosis
No suitable communication type has been selected. This is due either toan error in Customizing or an incorrect selection by the user.

  • The communication type that is appropriate for this contact category
  • (for example STMP for e-mail, printer in case of a letter) is notincluded in the selection, even though it is normally set as the maincommunication type.
    • The communication type "stakeholder-dependent", which is the standard
    • communication type of the stakeholder, was the only one selected. Thismay lead to an unforeseeable send result if the communication type main
      tained for a stakeholder is not compatible with the content of thiscontact. This is for example the case when the current contact is ane-mail with attachments while "SMS/Pager" is specified as the standardcommunication type for the stakeholder.

      System Response
      If possible, the system will open the selection dialog box again.Otherwise, the send process is canceled.

      Procedure
      Maintain appropriate communication types either in Customizing or inthe selection dialog box:

      • The standard channel for each contact category must be contained in the
      • selection, if possible as the main communication type.
        • If you choose "stakeholder-dependent", you need to specify additional
        • communication types. This allows you control over which communicationtypes are available for selection so that you can avoid theincompatibility mentioned above.
