  Understanding the Error
  
  Message Class: WER (typically related to Workflow or method calls)
  Message Number: 150 (or similar)
  Text: "Method call checks" or similar wording
  Context: Occurs during execution of ABAP Objects method calls, often in workflows or custom ABAP programs.
  
  
  Possible Causes
  
  
  Incorrect Method Call Syntax or Parameters:
  
  The method is called with wrong parameters or missing required parameters.
  Parameter types or number do not match the method signature.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues:
  
  The user executing the method does not have the required authorizations.
  Authorization checks inside the method fail.
  
  
  
  Object Reference Issues:
  
  The object reference used to call the method is INITIAL or NULL.
  The object instance is not properly instantiated before the method call.
  
  
  
  Method Not Found or Inaccessible:
  
  The method does not exist in the class or is not visible (e.g., private/protected).
  The class or method is not active or has syntax errors.
  
  
  
  Workflow or Runtime Environment Issues:
  
  If the method call is part of a workflow, the workflow container might not have the required data.
  Runtime environment issues or missing context.
  
  
  
  
  How to Analyze and Solve
  
  
  Check the Method Call in Code:
  
  Verify the method name, parameters, and object reference.
  Ensure the object is instantiated before calling the method.
  Example:
  DATA: lo_obj TYPE REF TO zcl_my_class.
  CREATE OBJECT lo_obj.
  lo_obj->my_method( iv_param = lv_value ).
  
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error to check failed authorization checks.
  Ensure the user has the necessary roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Class and Method Definitions:
  
  Use SE24 to check the class and method.
  Ensure the method is public or accessible in the context.
  Check for any syntax or activation errors.
  
  
  
  Debug the Program:
  
  Set a breakpoint before the method call.
  Check the object reference and parameters.
  Step into the method to see where it fails.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Container (if applicable):
  
  If the method is called from a workflow, check the container variables.
  Ensure all required data is passed correctly.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for message WER150 or related notes.
