• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5J461 - Selected Wtype model & contains more than 20 Wtypes. Check -> T511M ?

  The SAP error message 5J461 indicates that the selected work type (Wtype) model contains more than 20 work types, which is not allowed in the system. This error typically arises in the context of work scheduling or work type management in SAP, particularly in modules like SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) or SAP PS (Project System).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the configuration for the work type model has a limitation on the number of work types that can be associated with it. When you attempt to select a work type model that exceeds this limit (more than 20 work types), the system generates this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Work Type Model:
  
  Check the work type model you are trying to use. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the configuration settings and navigate to the section related to work types.
  
  
  
  Check Table T511M:
  
  The error message suggests checking table T511M, which contains the work type model definitions.

  Modify the Work Type Model:
  
  If the work type model has more than 20 work types, you may need to either:
  
  Remove some work types from the model to bring the total down to 20 or fewer.
  Create a new work type model that can accommodate the additional work types you need.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
