• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_FILTER013 - No filters, but table &2 is assigned to filter object &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_FILTER013 No filters, but table &2 is assigned to filter object &1
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when a filter object (&1) is assigned to a database table (&2), but no filter values have been maintained or defined for that filter object. Essentially, the system expects filter criteria to be present for the filter object because it is linked to a table, but none are found.
  
  Filter Object (&1): This is the filter definition or filter ID.
  Table (&2): This is the database table assigned to the filter object.
  
  The system uses filter objects to restrict or control data selection based on certain criteria. If a filter object is linked to a table but no filter entries exist, the system cannot apply any filtering, which leads to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When executing reports, transactions, or programs that rely on filter objects for data selection.
  During configuration or runtime when the system tries to apply filters but finds none defined.
  In scenarios involving authorization checks or data selection restrictions where filters are mandatory.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Maintain Filter Values:
  
  Go to the transaction or customizing where filter objects are maintained.
  Enter the filter object (&1) and assign appropriate filter values for the table (&2).
  Save the filter entries.
  
  
  
  Check Filter Object Assignment:
  
  Verify if the filter object is correctly assigned to the table.
  If the filter object is not needed, consider removing the assignment to avoid the error.
  
  
  
  Review Program or Report Logic:
  
  If you are a developer or consultant, check the logic that calls the filter object.
  Ensure that filters are properly initialized and maintained before execution.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Sometimes, missing filters can be due to missing authorizations.
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to see or maintain filter values.

  Transaction for Filter Maintenance: Often filters are maintained in customizing transactions like SM30 for table/view maintenance or specific filter maintenance transactions depending on the module.
