  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER062 - Item field (&1) is not mapped ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WER062 - Item field (&1) is not mapped


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a specific item field (denoted by &1 in the message) is expected to be mapped in a configuration or interface but is not found or defined. Typically, this happens in scenarios involving:

    • Data transfer or integration processes (e.g., IDocs, BAPIs, or ALE distribution).
    • Customizing or configuration of field mappings in SAP modules like SD, MM, or FI.
    • Middleware or interface tools where fields from one system or structure need to be mapped to another.
    • When using SAP tools like LSMW, BAPI, or custom programs that require explicit field mapping.

    In essence, the system expects a mapping for a particular item field but cannot find it, leading to this error.


    Common Scenarios:

    • Missing or incomplete field mapping in ALE/IDoc distribution model.
    • Incorrect or incomplete configuration in middleware (e.g., SAP PI/PO, CPI).
    • Custom programs or enhancements where field mapping logic is incomplete.
    • Data migration or upload tools where the source field is not mapped to the target field.

    Solution:

    1. Identify the Field:
      Check the error message to find out which field (&1) is not mapped.

    2. Check Mapping Configuration:

      • For IDocs/ALE: Verify the segment and field mapping in transaction WE20 (Partner Profiles) and WE30 (IDoc segments).
      • For middleware: Check the mapping objects or mapping programs.
      • For LSMW or BAPI: Review the field mapping steps and ensure the source field is correctly assigned to the target field.
    3. Update or Create Mapping:

      • Add the missing field mapping in the relevant configuration.
      • If custom code is involved, update the code to include the missing field mapping.
    4. Test the Mapping:
      After updating, test the process again to ensure the error is resolved.

    5. Check Notes and Documentation:
      Sometimes, SAP Notes provide specific fixes or patches related to mapping issues.


    Related Information:

    • Transactions to check:

      • WE20 - Partner Profiles (for ALE/IDoc configuration)
      • WE30 - IDoc Segment Editor
      • WE60 - IDoc Documentation
      • Middleware tools (SAP PI/PO, CPI) mapping tools
      • LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) for data migration mappings
    • SAP Notes:
      Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to WER062 or mapping issues in your specific module.

    • Debugging:
      If the error occurs in a custom program, use the ABAP debugger to trace where the mapping check fails.


    Summary:

    • Cause: Missing or undefined mapping for a required item field.
    • Solution: Identify the missing field and define its mapping in the relevant configuration or code.
    • Check: ALE/IDoc settings, middleware mappings, custom code, and migration tools.

    If you provide the exact context (module, transaction, or process), I can help with more specific steps.
