  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND087 - Enter a service implementation ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WES_OUTBOUND087 - Enter a service implementation


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP when a required service implementation is missing or not specified in the configuration for outbound processing, typically in the context of SAP PI/PO (Process Integration/Process Orchestration) or Web Service (WES) outbound scenarios.

    In other words, the system expects a service implementation to be assigned or configured for the outbound service call, but it is either not maintained or incorrectly maintained.


    When does it occur?

    • During the configuration of outbound services in SAP middleware or integration scenarios.
    • When setting up or executing outbound web service calls.
    • When the system tries to determine which service implementation to use for outbound processing but finds none.

    Solution:

    1. Check Service Implementation Configuration:

      • Go to the relevant configuration transaction or IMG node where outbound services are maintained.
      • Ensure that the service implementation is assigned correctly to the outbound service.
      • For example, in SAP PI/PO, check the Integration Directory for the outbound service interface and verify the service implementation mapping.
    2. Maintain Service Implementation:

      • If missing, create or assign the correct service implementation.
      • This might involve:
        • Assigning the correct Business System or Logical System.
        • Specifying the correct Service Interface and Binding.
        • Ensuring the service implementation is active and correctly configured.
    3. Check Web Service Configuration:

      • If this is related to web services, verify the SOAMANAGER settings.
      • Ensure the outbound service has a valid binding and endpoint configured.
    4. Transport and Synchronization:

      • If the configuration was recently changed, ensure that the changes are transported and synchronized properly across systems.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WES_OUTBOUND087 for any specific patches or known issues.

    Related Information:

    • Transactions to check:

      • SOAMANAGER – Web Service Configuration
      • SPRO – IMG for Integration settings
      • Integration Directory (in SAP PI/PO)
      • SICF – Internet Communication Framework (to check service activation)
    • SAP Modules Involved:

      • SAP PI/PO (Process Integration/Orchestration)
      • SAP Web Services Framework
      • SAP XI (Exchange Infrastructure)
    • Typical Scenario:

      • When an outbound interface is called, SAP needs to know which service implementation to use to send the message. If this is not configured, the system throws this error.

    Summary:

    • Cause: Missing or not maintained service implementation for outbound service.
    • Solution: Maintain and assign the correct service implementation in the outbound service configuration (via SOAMANAGER, Integration Directory, or IMG).
    • Check: Service bindings, logical systems, and transport status.

    If you provide more context (e.g., module, transaction, scenario), I can give more precise steps.
