• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BAPI1022013 - WBS element was transferred both formatted and unformatted ?

  The SAP error message BAPI1022013 indicates that a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element was transferred in both formatted and unformatted ways during a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) call. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch in how the WBS element is being passed to the BAPI, leading to confusion in the system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The WBS element is provided in both its formatted (e.g., with leading zeros, special characters) and unformatted (e.g., numeric only) forms in the same BAPI call.
  The BAPI expects the WBS element to be provided in a specific format, and the presence of both formats leads to ambiguity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the BAPI Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to understand the expected format for the WBS element.
  Ensure Consistency: Make sure that you are passing the WBS element in only one format. Choose either the formatted or unformatted version and remove the other from the BAPI call.
  Data Validation: Before making the BAPI call, validate the data being sent to ensure that it adheres to the expected format.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the formatted and unformatted values are being set, consider debugging the code or using logging to trace the values being passed to the BAPI.
  
  Related Information:
