• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M!061 - &1: &2-&3 should be filled by a user exit ?

  The SAP error message M!061 indicates that certain fields in a material document or related transaction are not filled as expected, and it suggests that these fields should be populated by a user exit. This error typically occurs during the processing of material movements, such as goods receipts, goods issues, or transfer postings.
  Cause:
  The error message M!061 is triggered when the system expects certain fields to be filled in a material document, but they are not populated. This usually happens when:
  
  The fields in question are required for the transaction but are not being filled due to missing logic in the user exit.
  The user exit or enhancement that is supposed to populate these fields is either not implemented or not functioning correctly.
  There may be a configuration issue or a missing customization that prevents the fields from being filled.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the User Exit: Determine which user exit or enhancement is supposed to fill the required fields. This can often be found in the documentation or by consulting with your SAP technical team.
  
  
  Implement or Modify the User Exit: If the user exit is not implemented, you may need to create a custom implementation to populate the required fields. If it is already implemented but not functioning correctly, review the code to ensure it is populating the fields as expected.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for the material document and related transactions are correct. Sometimes, configuration settings can affect how fields are populated.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the fields are being populated correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific user exit or enhancement to ensure you are following best practices.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a critical issue affecting business operations.

  User Exits: User exits are predefined points in the SAP code where you can add custom code to enhance or modify standard functionality without modifying the original code.
  Enhancement Framework: In newer versions of SAP, the enhancement framework allows for more flexible and powerful ways to customize SAP applications.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (e.g., MB1A, MB1B, MB1C) that may be related to the material movements you are working with.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the M!061 error and ensure that the necessary fields are populated correctly during material transactions.
