SAP S/4HANA Error 648: Trigger/Procedure Nesting Limit
Description
This error indicates that a database operation, typically involving custom logic or an add-on, has exceeded the maximum allowed nesting depth for triggers and stored procedures. It occurs when a chain of interdependent database calls becomes too deep, preventing further execution.
Error Message
ERR_SQL_TRIGGER_AND_PROC_NESTING_DEPTH_EXCEEDED
Known Causes
4 known causesRecursive Trigger/Procedure Calls
A trigger or procedure is designed to call itself, either directly or indirectly, without adequate termination conditions, leading to an infinite loop.
Overly Complex Database Logic
Multiple triggers are set to fire sequentially, or procedures extensively call other procedures, creating a deep and intricate execution chain.
Customization or Add-on Interaction
Custom developments or third-party add-ons introduce database logic that interacts with existing SAP objects, inadvertently pushing the nesting depth beyond its limit.
Incorrect Database Design
The underlying database schema relies on a chain of dependent triggers and procedures that inherently exceed the system's nesting limits.
