• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+406 - Wrong parameter: WITH_ITEMS ='X', but ITEMS not transferred ?

  The SAP error message W+406 indicates that there is a mismatch in the parameters being passed to a function or method, specifically related to the WITH_ITEMS parameter. The error message states that WITH_ITEMS is set to 'X', which typically means that the system expects item data to be included in the call, but no item data (ITEMS) has been transferred.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the function or method being called expects item-level data to be provided when the WITH_ITEMS parameter is set to 'X'. However, the actual call does not include any item data, leading to the inconsistency that triggers the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Function Call: Review the function or method call where the error occurs. Ensure that if WITH_ITEMS is set to 'X', you are also passing the required item data.
  
  
  Provide Item Data: If you intend to process items, make sure to populate the relevant item data structure or table before making the call. This could involve filling an internal table with item details that the function expects.
  
  
  Set WITH_ITEMS Appropriately: If you do not intend to pass item data, you should set WITH_ITEMS to a value that indicates no item data is being sent (usually ' ' or '0').
  
  
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the issue lies, you can use debugging tools in SAP to step through the code and inspect the values of the parameters being passed to the function.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific function or method you are using to understand the expected parameters and their meanings.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Function Module/Method Documentation: Look up the specific function module or method in the SAP documentation to understand the expected input parameters and their requirements.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the function you are using.

  By ensuring that the parameters are correctly aligned with the expectations of the function being called, you should be able to resolve the W+406 error.
