Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS068 - catalogue number can't be created. ?

  The SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS068: catalogue number can't be created typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Document Management System (DMS) when the system tries to create or assign a catalogue number (often related to classification or document indexing) but fails due to certain reasons.
  
  Cause
  The main causes for the error WGDS_PROCESS068 are:
  
  
  Catalogue Number Range Not Defined or Exhausted
  
  The system uses number ranges to generate catalogue numbers automatically. If the number range is not defined or the current number range is exhausted (no more numbers available), the system cannot create a new catalogue number.
  
  
  Authorization Issues
  
  The user or process trying to create the catalogue number may lack the necessary authorizations to create or assign catalogue numbers.
  
  
  Configuration Issues
  
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration in the classification system or document management system can prevent catalogue number creation.
  
  
  Technical Issues
  
  Problems with the underlying tables or database inconsistencies related to catalogue numbers.
  
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error WGDS_PROCESS068, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range for Catalogue Numbers  
  
  Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects) or SNUM and check the number range object related to catalogue numbers (often related to classification or document management).  
  Verify if the number range is defined and if there are available numbers left.  
  If exhausted, extend the number range interval.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations  
  
  Ensure the user or background job has the required authorizations to create catalogue numbers.  
  Check roles and authorizations related to classification (e.g., authorization object B_CLASS).
  
  
  
  Review Configuration  
  
  Verify the configuration in the classification system (transaction CL02, CL01) and document management system (transaction CV01N, CV02N).  
  Ensure that the catalogue number assignment is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Check for Technical Issues  
  
  Run consistency checks on related tables (e.g., KSSK, KSSK_H for classification catalogues).  
  Check for any database locks or inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs  
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, enable debugging or check system logs (transaction SM21, ST22) to get more detailed error information.
