• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND067 - Structure &1 contains no components ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WES_OUTBOUND067 Structure &1 contains no components
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the outbound processing of IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in SAP, specifically when the system tries to process or generate an IDoc segment structure that is expected to have components (fields or sub-segments), but the structure is found to be empty (i.e., it contains no components).
  Common causes include:
  
  The IDoc segment structure definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) is incomplete or missing components.
  The segment structure referenced in the outbound processing function module or mapping is incorrect or points to an empty structure.
  Custom or standard IDoc segment definitions have been changed or corrupted.
  The segment structure is not properly maintained in the IDoc segment definition (WE31).
  Incorrect or incomplete segment assignment in the IDoc type (WE30).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Segment Structure:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 and enter the structure name mentioned in the error message (&1 will be replaced by the actual structure name in the runtime error).
  Verify that the structure contains fields/components.
  If the structure is empty, you need to add the required components or correct the structure.
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Segment Definition:
  
  Use transaction WE31 to check the segment definition.
  Ensure the segment is correctly defined and linked to the proper structure.
  If the segment is linked to an empty structure, correct it by assigning the correct structure.
  
  
  
  Check IDoc Type:
  
  Use transaction WE30 to check the IDoc type.
  Verify that the segments are correctly assigned and that the segment definitions are valid.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or Mapping:
  
  If you have custom outbound processing or mapping (e.g., in function modules or user exits), verify that the correct segment structures are used.
  Ensure that no empty or incorrect structures are referenced.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If this issue appeared after a transport or system upgrade, verify that all related objects (structures, segments, IDoc types) have been transported correctly.
  Re-import or correct transports if necessary.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error.
  If the problem persists, consider raising a message with SAP Support including detailed logs and system information.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transactions:
  
  SE11 - ABAP Dictionary: Check structure definitions.
  WE31 - IDoc Segment Editor: Check and maintain IDoc segments.
  WE30 - IDoc Type Development: Check and maintain IDoc types.
  WE02 / WE05 - IDoc Monitoring: Analyze IDoc processing and errors.
  
  
  
  IDoc Concepts:
  
  An IDoc segment is based on a structure that defines its fields.
  Each segment must have at least one component (field or sub-segment).
  Outbound processing generates IDocs based on these segments and their structures.
  
  
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  During outbound IDoc creation, the system tries to fill a segment.
  If the segment’s underlying structure is empty, the system cannot generate the segment data, leading to this error.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WES_OUTBOUND067 Structure &1 contains no components indicates that the IDoc segment structure used in outbound processing is empty. To resolve it, verify and correct the structure definition in SE11, ensure proper segment assignment in WE31 and WE30, and check any custom outbound processing logic for incorrect references.
