In this blog I am going to share the issues faced during the implementation of SAP Fiori My Timesheet App Version 2 and various SAP notes available to fix them.

First things first. Here is my system support package information.

Before you get your hands on on to the application, you might encounter some errors mostly message starting with ‘RFC Error…’.

This particular error appears in different scenarios. One being the value help fields not available, conversion errors like ALPHA conversions with fields.              There might be some other reasons as well.

APPEND ls_rank TO lt_rank.

APPEND ls_rank TO lt_rank.
