Solutions

3 solutions available

1. Verify SAP S/4HANA Scenario Configuration medium

Ensure the requested scenario is correctly configured and activated within the SAP S/4HANA system.

Access the SAP S/4HANA system and navigate to the relevant transaction code for scenario management. This typically involves customizing or configuration areas. For example, if the error relates to a specific business process, you might look into IMG (Implementation Guide) paths related to that process.

N/A (Transaction code-based navigation)

Locate the specific scenario that is causing the error (e.g., by its technical name or description).

N/A

Check the activation status of the scenario. Ensure it is marked as active and all its prerequisites are met.

N/A

If the scenario is not active, activate it. This might involve running specific activation reports or using configuration tools within SAP.

N/A

Review the configuration parameters associated with the scenario. Ensure they align with the expected business process and data requirements.

N/A

If the scenario involves integration with other systems or components, verify that these integrations are correctly set up and functioning.

N/A

After making any necessary changes, restart the relevant SAP S/4HANA services or application servers to apply the configuration updates.

N/A

2. Review and Correct Calling Application/Interface medium

Examine the application or interface that is initiating the scenario request and correct any misconfigurations or invalid parameters.

Identify the source application or interface that is triggering the SAP S/4HANA Error 5321. This could be a custom application, a third-party integration tool, a frontend UI, or even another SAP module calling S/4HANA.

N/A

Examine the parameters being passed to SAP S/4HANA when the scenario is requested. Pay close attention to any scenario identifiers, business object types, or specific process parameters.

N/A

Compare the provided parameters with the expected parameters for the intended scenario. SAP often uses specific naming conventions or data formats.

N/A

Consult the documentation for the calling application/interface and the relevant SAP S/4HANA documentation to understand the correct way to request the scenario.

N/A

Correct any typos, incorrect scenario IDs, or invalid parameter values in the calling application/interface.

N/A

If the error occurs during an API call, review the API payload and ensure it adheres to the schema defined for the specific S/4HANA API and scenario.

Example API Payload Snippet (JSON):
{
  "scenarioId": "ACTUAL_SCENARIO_ID",
  "businessObject": {
    "type": "BUSINESSOBJECT_TYPE",
    "id": "BUSINESS_OBJECT_ID"
  },
  "parameters": {
    "param1": "value1",
    "param2": "value2"
  }
}

Re-execute the request from the corrected application/interface and verify that the error is resolved.

3. Analyze SAP S/4HANA System Logs for Detailed Error Information advanced

Dive into SAP's internal logs to uncover the root cause of the 'Incorrect Scenario Requested' error.

Access the SAP S/4HANA system and navigate to transaction SM21 (System Log).

N/A

Filter the system log for entries related to the time the error 5321 occurred. Use keywords like '5321', 'LA_INCORRECT_SCENARIO', or the user and transaction that caused the error.

N/A (Filter criteria in SM21)

Examine the detailed error messages within the log entries. Look for additional context, such as the specific function module being called, the parameters that were passed, and any internal checks that failed.

N/A

If the error is related to a specific business object or data, check transaction SU53 (Display Authorization Data) immediately after the error occurs to rule out authorization issues, though this error typically points to configuration.

N/A

If the error points to a specific program or component, use transaction ST22 (ABAP Runtime Errors) to check for any dumps that might have occurred concurrently or as a result of the scenario request.

N/A

Based on the detailed log information, correlate the error with the SAP S/4HANA configuration for the scenario. This might involve checking customizing tables, activation statuses, or dependent objects.

N/A

Consult SAP Notes and KBA (Knowledge Base Articles) using keywords from the error message and log details to find known issues and solutions.
