• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG089 - No documents posted, no items with errors ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG089 - No documents posted, no items with errors
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears during the Goods Movement or Inventory Posting process (e.g., in transaction codes like MIGO, MB1A, MB1B, MB1C, or during transfer postings). It indicates that the system attempted to post documents (such as material documents or accounting documents), but no documents were actually created or posted. At the same time, the system did not detect any specific errors in the line items or data entries.
  In other words, the system processed the input but found nothing to post — no material movements or accounting entries were generated, and no errors were flagged on the items.
  Common causes include:
  
  No quantity or zero quantity entered: The movement quantity might be zero or missing.
  Incorrect or missing mandatory data: For example, missing movement type, plant, storage location, or batch information.
  Document already posted: The system might be trying to repost a document that has already been posted.
  Selection criteria or filters exclude all items: For example, if you are doing a mass posting or batch job, the selection might not include any valid items.
  Posting period closed: Although usually this triggers a different error, sometimes the system silently skips posting.
  User input or interface issue: Sometimes the user interface or BAPI call does not pass the correct data.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WG089 message, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the input data:
  
  Verify that the quantity to be posted is greater than zero.
  Ensure all mandatory fields (movement type, plant, storage location, batch, etc.) are correctly filled.
  Confirm that the material master data is valid and the material is unrestricted or allowed for the movement.
  
  
  
  Review the transaction or program logic:
  
  If using a custom program or BAPI, debug or log the data being passed to ensure it contains valid posting information.
  Check if the document or posting has already been done to avoid duplicate postings.
  
  
  
  Check the posting period:
  
  Verify that the posting period is open for the relevant company code and movement date.
  
  
  
  Check for filters or selection criteria:
  
  If running a batch job or mass posting, ensure the selection criteria actually include items to be posted.
  
  
  
  Review SAP Notes and documentation:
  
  Sometimes this message can be a symptom of a known issue or patch requirement.
  
  
  
  Test with minimal data:
  
  Try posting a simple goods movement with minimal data to isolate the problem.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction codes: MIGO, MB1A, MB1B, MB1C, MB51 (to check material documents)
  Tables: MKPF (material document header), MSEG (material document items)
  SAP Notes: Search SAP Support Portal for WG089 or related movement type issues.
  BAPI: If using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE, ensure the input structure is correctly filled.
  Posting period: Check via transaction MMPV or OB52.
  
  
  Summary:
  WG089 means the system processed the request but found no data to post and no errors to report. The solution is to verify the input data, ensure quantities and mandatory fields are correct, check posting periods, and confirm that the posting has not already been done.
