• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/WM01201 - System &1, client &2 is NOT a decentralized LES; cannot execute function ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/WM01201 System &1, client &2 is NOT a decentralized LES; cannot execute function typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Logistics Execution System (LES) when trying to execute a function that is not supported in a non-decentralized environment.
  Cause:
  
  Decentralized vs. Centralized System: The error indicates that the system you are working with is not configured as a decentralized Logistics Execution System (LES). In a decentralized setup, certain functions are executed in a separate system, while in a centralized setup, all functions are handled within the same system.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to support decentralized operations, or the specific function you are trying to execute is only available in a decentralized setup.
  Incorrect Client: The client you are working in may not be set up for decentralized operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Configuration: Verify the configuration of your SAP system to ensure it is set up correctly for decentralized operations if that is your intention. This may involve checking the settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under Logistics Execution.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or notes related to decentralized LES to understand the requirements and limitations.
  Use Centralized Functions: If your system is indeed centralized, you may need to use alternative functions that are supported in a centralized environment.
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe your system should support decentralized operations, or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in checking system settings, such as SPRO for configuration or SE11 for data dictionary checks.
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on decentralized vs. centralized setups.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the function has the necessary authorizations to perform actions in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and address the issue related to the error message you are encountering.
