• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS301 - Catalogue number &1 not found in the database ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_PROCESS301: Catalogue number &1 not found in the database
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or process a catalogue number (material catalogue or document catalogue) that does not exist or is not maintained in the database. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual catalogue number that the system could not find.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The catalogue number was entered incorrectly or does not exist.
  The catalogue number has not been created or maintained in the relevant SAP table.
  The catalogue data might have been deleted or is inconsistent.
  The system is trying to reference a catalogue number that is not yet replicated or synchronized in the current system/client.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the Catalogue Number:
  
  Check the catalogue number entered for typos or errors.
  Confirm that the catalogue number exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Catalogue Master Data:
  
  Use transaction codes related to catalogue management, such as:
  
  MEK1 / MEK2 / MEK3 (Maintain Conditions for Purchasing Catalogues)
  ME31K / ME32K / ME33K (Create/Change/Display Contract or Scheduling Agreement Catalogues)
  
  
  Verify if the catalogue number is maintained properly.
  
  
  
  Check Database Tables:
  
  Check the relevant tables where catalogue numbers are stored, for example:
  
  EKKO (Purchasing Document Header)
  EKPO (Purchasing Document Item)
  MEK* tables for conditions related to catalogues
  
  
  Use SE16/SE16N to verify if the catalogue number exists.
  
  
  
  Synchronize or Recreate Catalogue Data:
  
  If the catalogue number is missing due to replication or data transfer issues, re-import or recreate the catalogue master data.
  If using external catalogue systems or interfaces, ensure the data is correctly transferred.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and Configuration:
  
  Verify if the catalogue number is linked correctly in the configuration.
  Check if any user-exits or BAdIs are influencing catalogue number processing.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WGDS_PROCESS301 or catalogue number issues.
  Apply any relevant patches or corrections.
