  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBFI_MASTER318 - Address data has been changed ?

    The SAP error message WEBFI_MASTER318: Address data has been changed typically occurs in the context of SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or related modules when there is an inconsistency or conflict detected in address data during a business transaction or data update.


    Cause

    • The error WEBFI_MASTER318 is triggered when the system detects that the address data of a business partner, contract partner, or object has been changed unexpectedly or inconsistently.
    • This usually happens during the update or synchronization of address master data, for example, when the address data in the contract or object master record does not match the address data in the business partner master record.
    • It can also occur if the address data was changed in one place but not properly updated or synchronized in related tables or objects.
    • Another cause can be concurrent changes by different users or processes leading to data inconsistencies.

    Solution

    1. Check Address Data Consistency:

      • Verify the address data in the business partner master (transaction BP) and the related contract or object master records.
      • Ensure that the address data is consistent and correctly maintained.
    2. Synchronize Address Data:

      • Use the standard SAP functions or reports to synchronize address data between business partner and contract/object.
      • For example, in RE-FX, you can use the function module or transaction to update or refresh address data.
    3. Avoid Concurrent Changes:

      • Ensure that no other user or process is changing the address data simultaneously.
      • If necessary, lock the records during update to prevent conflicts.
    4. Check Custom Enhancements or User Exits:

      • If there are custom developments or user exits related to address data, verify that they do not cause inconsistencies.
      • Debug or analyze the enhancement implementations if needed.
    5. Apply SAP Notes:

      • Check for relevant SAP Notes that address this error message or related issues.
      • SAP Notes may provide corrections or patches if this is a known issue.
    6. Recreate or Correct Address Data:

      • In some cases, deleting and re-entering the address data or recreating the business partner or contract partner address may resolve the issue.
