• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND063 - Enter a filter object ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WES_OUTBOUND063 - Enter a filter object
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when a filter object is required but has not been entered or specified. Typically, this happens in scenarios involving outbound processing in SAP Workflow or Business Event Services (WES), where the system expects a filter object to determine which data or objects should be processed or sent out.
  In other words, the system is prompting you to provide a filter object to restrict or define the scope of the outbound data or event, but this input is missing.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During configuration or execution of outbound processing in SAP Workflow or Business Event Services.
  When setting up or running outbound filters for events or messages.
  When the system expects a filter object to be defined to proceed with outbound event handling or data extraction.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the required filter object:
  
  Identify the filter object that the system expects. This is usually a business object or a specific data object that acts as a filter criterion.
  Provide the filter object in the relevant input field or configuration screen.
  
  
  
  Check the configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration of the outbound processing or event handling.
  Verify that the filter object is correctly defined and assigned.
  If you are using transaction codes related to Workflow or WES (e.g., SWETYPV, SWETYPER, or related customizing), ensure that the filter object is maintained.
  
  
  
  Review the documentation or help:
  
  Use SAP Help or the F1 help on the field where the filter object is to be entered.
  Check the SAP notes or documentation related to the specific outbound process or event.
  
  
  
  Consult with functional consultant:
  
  If unsure about which filter object to use, consult with a functional consultant or the person responsible for the business process to understand the correct filter criteria.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Workflow and Business Event Services (WES): Outbound processing often requires filter objects to control which events or data are sent out.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SWETYPV - Event Type Filter Values
  SWETYPER - Event Type Filter
  SWI1 - Workflow Log (to check workflow processing)
  
  
  SAP Notes: Search for notes related to WES outbound processing or the specific error message code.
  SAP Help Portal: Look for documentation on outbound event processing and filter objects.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WES_OUTBOUND063 - Enter a filter object means that the system expects a filter object to be specified for outbound processing but none was provided. To resolve it, enter the appropriate filter object in the configuration or input screen, ensuring that the outbound event or data processing can proceed with the correct scope.
