  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND069 - ALE message type is not stored in application &1 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WES_OUTBOUND069: ALE message type is not stored in application &1


    Cause:

    This error occurs when an ALE (Application Link Enabling) message is being sent or processed, but the message type specified is not defined or assigned in the target application. In other words, the system tries to send or process an IDoc with a message type that the receiving application does not recognize or has not been configured to handle.

    Common causes include:

    • The message type has not been maintained in the receiving system.
    • The message type is not assigned to the relevant application in the distribution model.
    • The partner profile is not correctly configured to accept or send this message type.
    • The message type is missing in the inbound or outbound parameters.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, follow these steps:

    1. Check the Message Type Configuration:

      • Go to transaction WE81 (Message Type Maintenance).
      • Verify that the message type in question exists and is correctly defined.
    2. Check the Distribution Model:

      • Use transaction BD64 to open the distribution model.
      • Ensure that the message type is assigned to the correct application and partner.
      • If missing, add the message type to the relevant model view and generate the model.
    3. Check Partner Profiles:

      • Use transaction WE20 to check the partner profiles.
      • Verify that the partner profile for the sender/receiver includes the message type in the inbound or outbound parameters.
      • Add the message type if it is missing.
    4. Check Application Assignment:

      • In some cases, the message type must be assigned to an application in the system.
      • Use transaction WE81 to check the application assignment for the message type.
      • Assign the message type to the correct application if not already done.
    5. Re-generate and Re-distribute:

      • After making changes, regenerate the distribution model and re-distribute it.
      • Test the ALE message processing again.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • WE81 - Maintain Message Types
      • BD64 - Distribution Model
      • WE20 - Partner Profiles
      • WE02 / WE05 - IDoc Monitoring
    • Notes:

      • Ensure that both sender and receiver systems have consistent message type and application assignments.
      • Check for any transport or system copy issues that might have caused missing configurations.
      • If the message type is custom, ensure it is properly created and transported across systems.

    Summary:

    The error WES_OUTBOUND069 indicates that the ALE message type is not stored or recognized in the application. The fix involves verifying and maintaining the message type in the system, ensuring it is assigned to the correct application, and properly configured in the distribution model and partner profiles.
