    SAP Error Message WER120


    Error Message Text:

    WER120: "The message is not assigned to the message class"


    Cause:

    The error WER120 occurs when an attempt is made to call or display a message using a message number that does not exist in the specified message class. In SAP, messages are grouped into message classes, and each message class contains a set of message numbers with corresponding texts. If the program tries to access a message number that is not defined in the given message class, SAP raises this error.


    Typical Scenario:

    • A developer or program calls a message using the syntax:
      MESSAGE e123(zmsgclass).
      but message number 123 does not exist in message class ZMSGCLASS.
    • This can happen due to:
      • Typographical error in the message number or class.
      • The message number was never created or was deleted.
      • The message class is incorrect or misspelled.

    Solution:

    1. Check the message class and number:

      • Go to transaction SE91 (Message Maintenance).
      • Enter the message class (e.g., ZMSGCLASS).
      • Verify if the message number (e.g., 123) exists.
    2. If the message number does not exist:

      • Create the missing message number with the appropriate text.
      • Or correct the program to use an existing message number.
    3. If the message class is incorrect:

      • Correct the message class name in the program or configuration.
    4. Check for typos:

      • Ensure the message class and number are correctly spelled and formatted.
    5. Transport and system consistency:

      • If the message was recently created, ensure it has been transported to the system where the error occurs.

    Additional Information:

    • Transaction SE91 is used to maintain message classes and messages.
    • Message classes are typically created by developers or basis teams.
    • Messages are used for error, warning, information, success, or abort messages in ABAP programs.
    • The message number is always a three-digit number (e.g., 001, 123).
    • The message class is usually a short text (up to 20 characters).

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WER120 - Message not assigned to class
    Cause Message number does not exist in class
    Solution Verify and create/correct message number
    Transaction SE91 (Message Maintenance)
