  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_ENH_EMPTIES000 - Article &1 does not exist ?

    The SAP error message:

    WGDS_ENH_EMPTIES000 Article &1 does not exist

    typically occurs in the context of SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system cannot find the specified article (material) in the relevant master data or database tables.


    Cause

    • The article (material) number referenced in the process does not exist in the system.
    • The material master record might be missing or not extended to the relevant plant/storage location.
    • The article might not be maintained in the warehouse management system or the relevant EWM system.
    • There could be a mismatch between the article number used in the transaction and the actual material master data.
    • In EWM, the article might not be created or synchronized properly from ERP to EWM.

    Solution

    1. Check Material Master:

      • Verify that the material number (&1) exists in the SAP ERP system.
      • Use transaction MM03 to display the material master.
      • Confirm that the material is extended to the relevant plant and storage location.
    2. Check Warehouse Management Master Data:

      • In WM, check if the material is maintained in the warehouse management system.
      • Use transaction LX02 or LS24 to check stock and material data in WM.
    3. Check EWM Master Data (if applicable):

      • In SAP EWM, verify that the product master data exists.
      • Use transaction /SCWM/MAT1 to display the product master.
      • If missing, create or synchronize the product master from ERP to EWM.
    4. Synchronization:

      • If using SAP EWM integrated with ERP, ensure that the material master is properly replicated.
      • Run the relevant CIF (Core Interface) replication jobs to synchronize master data.
    5. Correct the Article Number:

      • Check if the article number entered in the transaction is correct.
      • Correct any typos or wrong entries.
    6. Check Custom Enhancements:

      • Since the message ID is WGDS_ENH_EMPTIES000, it might be related to a custom enhancement or user exit.
      • Review any custom code or enhancements that might be validating the article number.
      • Debug the enhancement to see why the article is considered non-existent.
