Cause

This is because the signature strategy defined is with either of the following methods:

  • User Signature with ext. Security Product W/O verification
  • User Signature with ext. Security Product with Verificaiton

Resolution

The above two signature methods only work with SAP GUI but not with Webdynpro (as SOLDOC is)

To resolve the issue: In the view cluster "VC_TC85", select the method "System Signature with Authorization by SAP UserID/Password"
