• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG022 - Unauthorized Customizing setting: &; Default value reset ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG022 Unauthorized Customizing setting: &; Default value reset
  
  Cause:
  This error message occurs when an unauthorized or unexpected change is made to a customizing setting in SAP, specifically related to the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) configuration. The system detects that a customizing value has been changed or reset to a default value without proper authorization or transport, which is not allowed in the productive environment.
  The placeholder & in the message typically contains the name of the customizing setting or parameter that was changed.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Direct changes in the customizing tables via SE16/SE16N or direct table edits.
  Changes made in a client where the user does not have the required authorization.
  Changes made outside of the standard transport process.
  Automatic reset of a value due to inconsistencies or missing dependencies.
  
  
  Explanation:
  SAP enforces strict control over customizing settings to ensure system stability and consistency across clients and systems. Unauthorized changes can lead to inconsistencies, errors in business processes, or system failures.
  The message is a safeguard to prevent such unauthorized changes and to alert the administrator or user that the system has reset the value to a default to maintain integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Verify that the user making the change has the necessary authorization objects for customizing changes, especially for WM/EWM customizing.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error to check missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Use Proper Transport Mechanism:
  
  All customizing changes should be done in the development system and transported to quality and production systems using the standard transport management system (TMS).
  Avoid direct changes in production or quality clients.
  
  
  
  Review the Customizing Change:
  
  Identify which customizing setting was changed (the & parameter in the message).
  Use transaction SPRO or the relevant customizing transaction to review the setting.
  Check if the change is valid and required.
  
  
  
  Check for Inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks for WM/EWM customizing.
  Use transaction /SCWM/CHK (for EWM) or relevant reports to check for customizing inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Reset or Reapply the Correct Value:
  
  If the value was reset to default, reapply the correct value via the proper customizing transaction.
  Ensure the change is transported properly.
