  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WA650 - Receiver function module & not found ?

    The SAP error message:

    WA650 Receiver function module & not found

    typically occurs in the context of ALE/IDoc processing or RFC communication, where the system is trying to call a function module on the receiver system, but it cannot find the specified function module.


    Cause

    • The function module specified as the receiver function module in the ALE or RFC call does not exist in the target system.
    • The function module name might be misspelled or incorrectly configured.
    • The function module is not released for remote calls (not marked as remote-enabled).
    • The target system might be missing the required software component or add-on that contains the function module.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies where the function module was not imported or activated properly.

    Solution

    1. Check the Function Module Name:

      • Verify the exact name of the function module that the system is trying to call.
      • Check the configuration in the distribution model or partner profile to ensure the correct function module is specified.
    2. Verify Function Module Existence:

      • In the target system, use transaction SE37 to check if the function module exists.
      • If it does not exist, you need to create it or import the relevant software component/add-on.
    3. Check Remote-Enabled Flag:

      • The function module must be remote-enabled (RFC-enabled).
      • In SE37, check the attributes of the function module and ensure "Remote-Enabled Module" is selected.
    4. Check Software Components and Add-ons:

      • Ensure that the target system has the necessary software components installed that provide the function module.
      • If missing, import the relevant transport or install the required add-on.
    5. Check ALE/IDoc Configuration:

      • In transaction SALE or BD64, verify the distribution model and ensure the receiver function module is correctly maintained.
      • In partner profiles (WE20), check the outbound parameters and the function module assigned.
    6. Transport and Activation:

      • If the function module was recently imported, ensure it is activated.
      • Check for any transport errors or inconsistencies.
    7. Check Authorization:

      • Ensure the user executing the call has the necessary authorizations to execute the function module remotely.

      • SE37 - Function Builder (to check function modules)
      • WE20 - Partner Profiles (for IDoc configuration)

      • SALE - ALE Administration
    • Notes and Documentation:

      • SAP OSS Notes related to ALE and RFC errors.
      • Check SAP Help Portal for ALE/IDoc configuration guides.
    • Common Scenarios:

      • When setting up ALE between two systems, the receiver function module must be present and remote-enabled.
      • Custom function modules used in IDoc processing must be transported and activated in the receiver system.

    Summary

    Aspect Details
    Cause Receiver function module not found in target system or not remote-enabled
    Solution Verify function module name, existence, remote-enabled flag, and ALE configuration
    Check SE37, WE20, BD64, SALE transactions; software components; transport/import status
    Related Info ALE/IDoc configuration, RFC setup, SAP Notes on ALE errors
