  The SAP error message OIU_MASS_UPLOAD159 indicates that there is an issue with a well completion record that is being referenced in the OIU (Oil Industry Utility) module. Specifically, the error states that the well completion identified by the parameters &1 and &2 does not exist in the OIU_PR_WC (Well Completion) table. This typically occurs during mass upload processes or data migration activities.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Existent Record: The well completion record you are trying to upload or reference does not exist in the OIU_PR_WC table. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect well completion IDs being used in the upload file.
  The well completion records not being created or saved in the system prior to the upload.
  Typographical errors in the well completion IDs.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity, such as missing dependencies or related records that are required for the well completion to be valid.
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping: If you are using a template for mass upload, the mapping of fields may not be correct, leading to references to non-existent records.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Well Completion Records: Check the OIU_PR_WC table to ensure that the well completion records with the specified IDs (&1 and &2) actually exist. You can do this by running a query or using transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the table.
  
  
  Correct the Upload File: If the well completion IDs are incorrect, update your upload file with the correct IDs. Ensure that all referenced records exist in the system.
  
  
  Create Missing Records: If the well completion records do not exist, you may need to create them in the system before performing the mass upload.
  
  
  Check Data Mapping: Review the mapping of your upload file to ensure that all fields are correctly aligned with the expected fields in the OIU_PR_WC table.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for mass uploads in the OIU module to ensure compliance with the required formats and processes.
  
  
  Error Logging: If the issue persists, check for any additional error logs or messages that may provide more context on the failure.
