• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WA680 - & & not found ?

  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message WA680 & & not found:
  
  Error Message Overview
  
  Message ID: WA680
  Message Text: & & not found
  Meaning: The system is indicating that a particular object or entry identified by two placeholders (& &) could not be found in the database or repository.
  
  
  Cause
  The error WA680 & & not found typically occurs when SAP tries to access or reference an object, record, or data entry that does not exist or cannot be found in the system. The two placeholders (& &) are usually replaced at runtime by specific identifiers such as:
  
  Table name and key
  Object type and object ID
  Program name and variant
  Other relevant identifiers depending on context
  
  Common causes include:
  
  Typing or input errors (wrong key or ID)
  Missing master data or configuration entries
  Incomplete or incorrect data migration
  Deletion of the referenced object
  Incorrect program logic or custom code referencing non-existent entries
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WA680 & & not found error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Missing Object:
  
  Check the exact values replacing the placeholders & & in the error message.
  Determine what object or data the system is trying to find.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Existence:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16/SE16N or SE11 to check if the object or record exists in the relevant table.
  For example, if the error relates to a material number, check the material master (MARA, MARC tables).
  
  
  
  Check Input Data:
  
  Ensure that the input data or parameters provided are correct and valid.
  Correct any typos or wrong entries.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or Configuration:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or report, debug the code to see where the lookup fails.
  Check if the program expects certain data that is missing or incorrectly referenced.
  
  
  
  Restore or Create Missing Data:
  
  If the object is missing but should exist, recreate or restore it.
  For master data, create the missing entries using standard SAP transactions.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, the object exists but the user lacks authorization to view it, causing a "not found" message.
  Verify user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WA680 for any known issues or patches.

  Debugging:

  Example Scenario
  If the error message appears as:
  WA680 Material 12345 not found
  
  It means the system tried to find material number 12345 but it does not exist in the material master.
  Solution: Check if material 12345 exists in MARA table. If not, create it or correct the input.
