• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFRE_CON104 - Used Production Time = 0. Header = &1 Item = &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFRE_CON104 Used Production Time = 0. Header = &1 Item = &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of Production Orders or Routing when the system tries to calculate or use the Used Production Time for a particular operation or activity, but the value is zero (0). The system expects a positive production time to proceed with scheduling, costing, or confirmation activities.
  
  Header = &1 refers to the production order number.
  Item = &2 refers to the operation or routing step number.
  
  The error indicates that the system found zero production time for the specified operation in the production order header and item.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or zero standard values in the routing or work center setup:
  
  The operation's standard values (Setup time, Machine time, Labor time) might be zero or missing.
  
  
  Incorrect routing or operation data:
  
  The routing assigned to the production order might have operations with zero time.
  
  
  Work center master data issues:
  
  The work center linked to the operation might have zero or missing capacity or time data.
  
  
  Incorrect confirmation or time recording:
  
  If confirmation is attempted without valid production time, this error can occur.
  
  
  Custom enhancements or user exits:
  
  Custom code might be incorrectly calculating or passing zero production time.
  
  
  
  
  Where does it occur?
  
  During production order confirmation.
  When scheduling or costing production orders.
  When checking or updating routing operations.
  In workflow or user-exit validations related to production time.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Routing and Operation Times:
  
  Go to transaction CA02 (Change Routing) or CA03 (Display Routing).
  Verify that the operation times (Setup time, Machine time, Labor time) are correctly maintained and not zero.
  
  
  
  Check Work Center Data:
  
  Use transaction CR02 (Change Work Center) or CR03 (Display Work Center).
  Ensure that the work center has valid capacity and time data.
  
  
  
  Check Production Order:
  
  Use CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order).
  Verify the routing assigned and the operation times.
  
  
  
  Confirmations:
  
  When confirming production orders (e.g., via CO11N), ensure that the system has valid production time to record.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are user exits, BADIs, or custom workflows related to production time, check that they do not set or calculate zero production time.
  
  
  
  Recalculate or Update Standard Values:
  
  If standard values are missing, update them in the routing or work center.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes or SAP OSS Messages:
  
  Sometimes SAP releases notes for specific versions that address this issue.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WFRE_CON (Workflow related confirmation messages)
  This message is often linked to workflow or confirmation processes where production time is mandatory.
  Zero production time can cause scheduling and costing errors downstream.
  Always ensure that routing and work center master data are consistent and complete.
