• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_FILTER019 - You did not configure filters in IMG for selection ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WES_FILTER019 – "You did not configure filters in IMG for selection"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to execute a process or transaction that requires filter criteria to be defined in the Implementation Guide (IMG), but no filters have been configured yet. In other words, the system expects certain filter settings to be maintained for the selection or processing step, but these are missing.
  This is common in scenarios involving Warehouse Management (WM), Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), or other modules where filter configurations are necessary to restrict or define the scope of data processing.
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  You are trying to run a warehouse process or report that requires filter criteria.
  The system checks the IMG configuration for these filters.
  Since no filters are maintained, the system throws the WES_FILTER019 error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Configure Filters in IMG:
  
  Go to the SAP IMG (transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant node for your module (e.g., Warehouse Management or Extended Warehouse Management).
  Find the section related to Filter Configuration or Selection Criteria.
  Maintain the required filters according to your business needs. This usually involves defining filter values such as warehouse numbers, storage types, movement types, or other relevant selection parameters.
  
  
  
  Check Documentation or Notes:
  
  Review SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific process you are trying to execute.
  Sometimes, SAP provides detailed instructions on which filters need to be configured.
  
  
  
  Verify User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to access the filter configuration or the process.
  
  
  
  Test After Configuration:
  
  After maintaining the filters, retry the transaction or process.
  The error should no longer appear if filters are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is often seen in Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) processes.
  Filters help in limiting the data scope, improving performance, and ensuring correct data processing.
  If unsure about which filters to configure, consult your functional consultant or SAP documentation for the specific module.
  Example IMG path for EWM filter configuration might be:
  
  SPRO -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Warehouse Process Types -> Define Filters for Warehouse Process Types
