How To Fix WFCS052 - No entries from table &1 read &2 &3 &4

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WFCS - Message Class for Store Forecasting (Dev. Package WFCS)

• Message number: 052

• Message text: No entries from table &1 read &2 &3 &4

What causes this issue?

During the forecast run, the system tried to access a table and did not
find any hits. If no hits were found for the movement data table
WFCS_WRFT in forecasting, the system read the necessary master data,
but no movement data exists. This may mean that a material forecast was
to be created, but there was no relevant historical data available.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

This message is for information. You can use the forecast monitor
(transaction WFCS03) to display master and movement data for further
analysis.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFCS052 - No entries from table &1 read &2 &3 &4 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS052 No entries from table &1 read &2 &3 &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error message occurs in the SAP Workflow system when a read operation on a database table returns no entries. The placeholders (&1, &2, &3, &4) are dynamically replaced at runtime with the actual table name and key values or selection criteria used in the read attempt.
  
  &1 = Table name  
  &2, &3, &4 = Key fields or selection criteria values used in the read
  
  The message indicates that the workflow tried to fetch data from the specified table using the given keys or conditions, but no matching records were found.
  Common causes include:
  
  The data expected to be present in the table is missing or has been deleted.
  Incorrect or incomplete key values or selection criteria passed to the read operation.
  Timing issues where the workflow tries to read data before it is created or committed.
  Custom workflow logic or user exits passing wrong parameters.
  Transport or system inconsistencies where data is not yet available.
  
  
  Where does it occur?
  
  This message is typically raised during workflow container data retrieval or during workflow step processing when the system tries to read data from a table.
  It can appear in workflow logs, trace files, or during debugging of workflow tasks.
  
  
  Solution / Troubleshooting Steps:
  
  
  Check the Table and Keys:
  
  Identify the table name (&1) and the key values (&2, &3, &4) from the error message.
  Use transaction SE16/SE16N or SE11 to check if the record with the specified keys exists in the table.
  If the record does not exist, understand why the workflow expects it.
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Container and Parameters:
  
  Check the workflow container elements and the values passed to the step or method that reads the table.
  Ensure that the container values or parameters are correctly populated before the read operation.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Logic:
  
  Review the workflow definition and any custom code (methods, user exits, BAdIs) involved in reading the table.
  Confirm that the logic correctly handles cases where data might not exist.
  
  
  
  Timing Issues:
  
  If the workflow reads data that is created by a preceding step, ensure that the data creation step completes successfully before the read.
  Consider adding synchronization or wait steps if necessary.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Check for any recent transports or changes that might have affected the data or workflow logic.
  Run consistency checks if applicable.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) to analyze the workflow instance and see where the error occurs.
  Use debugging tools to step through the workflow and identify the exact read statement causing the issue.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WFCS052 for any known issues or patches.
  Review SAP Workflow documentation for best practices on data handling.

  SAP Notes: Check for notes related to WFCS052 or workflow container errors.
  Workflow Container: The container is a data structure holding workflow data; missing or incorrect container data often causes this error.
  Common Tables: The table name (&1) will vary depending on the workflow scenario.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  No matching entries found in the specified table for the given key values during workflow processing.
  
  
  Effect
  Workflow step fails or cannot proceed due to missing data.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify data existence, check workflow container values, correct key parameters, debug workflow logic, and ensure proper sequencing of steps.
