• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WE048 - No houses selected ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WE048 - No houses selected
  
  Cause:
  The error message WE048 - No houses selected typically occurs in the context of IDoc processing, specifically when dealing with partner profiles and message control in SAP. 
  In SAP, a "house" refers to a logical system or organizational unit used in partner profiles to route IDocs or messages correctly. The error means that during the processing or sending of an IDoc, the system could not find any "house" (logical system or partner function) selected or assigned for the message type or partner involved.
  This usually happens because:
  
  No partner profile (WE20) is maintained for the partner or message type.
  The partner profile exists but no "house" (logical system or organizational unit) is assigned or selected.
  The message control configuration (NACE) does not have the correct output determination or partner assignment.
  The IDoc processing program or function module expects a "house" to be selected but none is found.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WE048 - No houses selected error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Partner Profiles (Transaction WE20):  
  
  Verify that the partner profile for the relevant partner (customer, vendor, logical system) exists.
  Ensure that the partner profile has the correct message type configured.
  Confirm that the "house" (logical system or organizational unit) is assigned in the partner profile for the message type.
  
  
  
  Verify Logical System Assignments:  
  
  Check if the logical system is correctly defined and assigned in the system (Transaction SALE or BD54).
  Make sure the logical system is assigned to the client and is consistent with the partner profile.
  
  
  
  Review Message Control (Transaction NACE):  
  
  Check the output determination procedure for the application (e.g., V1 for sales, EF for purchasing).
  Ensure that the output type is correctly configured and that the partner function and partner number are maintained.
  Confirm that the output determination leads to a partner profile with a valid "house."
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Processing Program or Custom Code:  
  
  If custom code or user exits are involved, verify that the logic to select the "house" is working correctly.
  Debug the IDoc processing to see why no house is selected.
  
  
  
  Re-generate or Re-assign Partner Profiles if Needed:  
  
  Sometimes, partner profiles may need to be regenerated or corrected if they are incomplete.

  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to IDoc partner profiles and message control.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on IDoc partner profiles and message control.
  
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Sending IDocs to external systems where the logical system is not assigned.
  Output determination in sales or purchasing documents where no partner profile is maintained.
  ALE distribution where the receiving system is not properly configured.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The WE048 - No houses selected error means the system could not find any logical system or organizational unit ("house") assigned for the partner/message type during IDoc processing. The fix involves ensuring partner profiles and message control are correctly maintained and that logical systems are properly assigned.
