• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5073 - Please pass on parameter for open or closed reservations ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5073 – "Please pass on parameter for open or closed reservations"
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically occurs when a transaction or a program related to reservation processing in SAP requires a parameter indicating whether to consider open or closed reservations, but this parameter has not been provided or passed correctly.
  In SAP Materials Management (MM), reservations can be in different statuses:
  
  Open reservations: Reservations that are still active and not yet fully consumed.
  Closed reservations: Reservations that have been fully consumed or deleted.
  
  Certain reports, transactions, or custom programs that deal with reservations need to know which type of reservations to process. If this parameter is missing, the system issues the W5073 warning.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When running reservation reports or programs that filter reservations by status.
  When custom developments or user exits require this parameter but it is not supplied.
  During reservation processing in transactions like MB25 (Reservation List), MB26 (Reservations by Account Assignment), or custom reports.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Pass the required parameter:
  
  When executing the transaction or report, ensure that the parameter specifying whether to include open or closed reservations is entered.
  For example, in selection screens, look for a field like "Reservation status" or "Open/Closed" and select the appropriate value.
  
  
  
  Check custom code or user exits:
  
  If this message appears in a custom program or enhancement, verify that the parameter for reservation status is being passed correctly.
  Modify the code to include the parameter or provide a default value if missing.
  
  
  
  Use standard SAP transactions properly:
  
  Use standard SAP transactions that handle this parameter internally or prompt for it.
  If you are using a custom report, update the selection screen to include this parameter.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP documentation or OSS notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this message.
  Review SAP help for the specific transaction or report you are using.

  Summary:
  
  Cause: Missing parameter indicating whether to process open or closed reservations.
  Solution: Provide the required parameter in the selection screen or program call.
  Additional: Check custom code and SAP documentation for proper handling of reservation status parameters.
