  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W9007 - No upload update entry (table WPTST) for IDOC no. & ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    W9007 No upload update entry (table WPTST) for IDOC no. &


    Meaning / Cause:

    • This warning message indicates that during the processing of an IDoc, the system expected to find an entry in the WPTST table (which is used to track update tasks related to IDoc processing) but did not find one for the specified IDoc number.
    • The WPTST table holds update task entries that are created when IDocs are processed asynchronously using update tasks.
    • The absence of an entry means that the update task for the IDoc was not created or was already processed/deleted.
    • This situation can occur if:
      • The IDoc was processed in a different update task or in a different mode.
      • The update task was already completed and the entry removed.
      • There is a timing issue or inconsistency in the update task handling.
      • The IDoc processing was interrupted or incomplete.
      • The IDoc was processed in foreground mode (synchronously), so no update task entry was created.

    When does this occur?

    • Typically during IDoc inbound processing when the system tries to confirm or update the status of the IDoc processing via update tasks.
    • It can appear in transaction logs or during debugging of IDoc processing.
    • It is often a warning rather than a critical error, indicating that the system could not find the expected update task entry.

    Solution / How to resolve:

    1. Check IDoc Processing Mode:

      • Verify if the IDoc was processed synchronously (foreground) or asynchronously (background).
      • If processed synchronously, no update task entry is created, so this warning can be ignored.
    2. Check IDoc Status:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to check the status of the IDoc.
      • Confirm if the IDoc was successfully processed or if there are errors.
    3. Reprocess the IDoc:

      • If the IDoc processing was incomplete or failed, consider reprocessing the IDoc.
      • Use transaction BD87 to reprocess IDocs.
    4. Check Update Task Handling:

      • Investigate if update tasks are being processed correctly in the system.
      • Check SM13 (Update Requests) for any stuck or failed update tasks.
      • If update tasks are stuck, process or delete them as appropriate.
    5. Review Custom Code / Enhancements:

      • If custom code or user exits are involved in IDoc processing, check if they handle update tasks correctly.
      • Incorrect handling might cause missing entries in WPTST.
    6. Ignore if Non-Critical:

      • Since this is a warning, if the IDoc has been processed successfully and no functional issues are observed, this message can be safely ignored.

    Related Information:

    • Table WPTST:
      Stores update task entries for IDoc processing. Entries are created when IDocs are processed asynchronously and are deleted after the update task is completed.

    • Transactions:

      • WE02 / WE05: Display IDocs and their statuses.
      • BD87: Reprocess IDocs.
      • SM13: Monitor and manage update requests.
      • SM58: Check transactional RFCs which might be related to IDoc processing.
    • SAP Notes / Documentation:

      • Check SAP Notes related to IDoc processing and update task handling for your SAP version.
      • Sometimes, this warning is documented as harmless in standard SAP behavior.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Missing update task entry in WPTST for the IDoc, often due to synchronous processing or completed update task.
    Effect Warning message during IDoc processing; no critical error but indicates no update entry found.
    Solution Verify IDoc status, reprocess if needed, check update tasks in SM13, and confirm processing mode.
    When to Ignore If IDoc processed successfully and no functional issues, this warning can be ignored.

    If you need further help, please provide details such as the IDoc type, processing method, and system logs.
