• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EI254 - No incompletion check for this field when message created ?

  The SAP error message EI254 ("No incompletion check for this field when message created") typically occurs when there is an attempt to create a message in the system, but the system cannot find an incompletion check for a specific field that is required for the message creation process. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with sales orders, purchase orders, or other document types.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Incompletion Check: The field in question does not have an incompletion check defined in the system. This means that the system does not recognize it as a mandatory field for the message creation process.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the message type or the document type may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of incompletion checks for certain fields.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they may interfere with the standard incompletion checks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (e.g., SPRO transaction).
  Navigate to the section related to the message type or document type you are working with.
  Ensure that the incompletion checks are properly defined for the fields that are required during message creation.
  
  
  
  Define Incompletion Checks:
  
  If the field is indeed required, you may need to define an incompletion check for it. This can usually be done in the configuration settings for the specific application area (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management).
  Look for options like "Define Incompletion Log" or "Define Incompletion Check" in the configuration menu.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom enhancements or user exits that might affect the message creation process, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  If necessary, consult with your ABAP developers to check for any custom logic that might be impacting the incompletion checks.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the message creation process again to see if the error persists.
  Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that the incompletion checks are functioning as expected.
