• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KO261 - Batch input session & created; log generated ?

  The SAP error message KO261 indicates that a batch input session has been created, and a log has been generated. This message typically occurs during the execution of batch input sessions, which are used to automate data entry in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The KO261 message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that a batch input session has been created. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Data Uploads: When you are uploading data into SAP using batch input methods (e.g., LSMW, BAPIs).
  Transaction Recording: If you are recording a transaction and the system generates a batch input session for processing.
  Errors in Data: If there are issues with the data being processed, the session may be created to log these errors for review.
  
  Solution:
  To address the KO261 message, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Batch Input Session:
  
  Go to transaction SM35 to view the batch input sessions.
  Look for the session that corresponds to the operation you were performing.
  Review the session log to identify any errors or issues that occurred during processing.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Log:
  
  Open the log for the specific session to see detailed information about any errors or warnings.
  The log will provide insights into which records were processed successfully and which ones encountered issues.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Issues:
  
  If the log indicates specific errors (e.g., missing mandatory fields, incorrect data formats), correct the data in the source file or input method.
  Re-run the batch input session after making the necessary corrections.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Session:
  
  Once the issues are resolved, you can reprocess the batch input session from SM35.
  Select the session and choose the option to process it again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are using a specific tool (like LSMW), refer to the documentation for that tool for additional troubleshooting steps.
