How To Fix NI059 - No worklist for document processing

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: NI - Document index processing

• Message number: 059

• Message text: No worklist for document processing

What causes this issue?

There is no worklist for document index processing for the document
categories you have chosen (purchasing documents, retail pricing
documents, etc.).

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Please look into the matter.
The function "Create worklist for document index processing" is
available for generating the worklist (report RMEBEIN4). You should
schedule this report periodically for background processing (if
necessary, prior to the background processing of subsequent functions)
so that you obtain the relevant worklist.
This approach is recommended for performance reasons. If the change
pointers are evaluated just once, considerable time savings are
achieved in the event that you are working with several document
categories.
