SAP Error Message - Details

• Message number: 662

• Message text: You are being forwarded to the new report &1 which replaces the report &2

What causes this issue?

The report RWGDS_PROCESS_ITEMS has been replaced by
RWGDS_PROCESS_ITEMS_PARALLEL, which supports parallel processing.
The catalog item notifications can be executed in parallel. You have the
option to schedule the processing periodically in the background
(daemonizing), or to stop after all orders in the worklist have been
processed (one pass processing).
The user is able to select which kind of catalog item notification needs
to be processed. The parallel processing parameters can also be set so
that the user is able to determine the distribution of orders by job.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Message:
  WGDS_PROCESS662
  
  Text: You are being forwarded to the new report &1 which replaces the report &2.
  
  Cause:
  This message is an informational message rather than an error. It occurs when you execute a report or transaction that has been replaced by a newer report in SAP. The system automatically forwards you to the new report (&1) because the old report (&2) is obsolete or no longer supported.
  This typically happens after SAP upgrades, support package installations, or when SAP has optimized or consolidated reports for better functionality.
  
  Explanation:
  
  &1 = New report name (the report you are forwarded to)  
  &2 = Old report name (the report you initially tried to run)
  
  The system is informing you that the old report is deprecated and you should use the new report going forward.
  
  Solution:
  
  No error correction needed: This is a standard system message to inform you about the forwarding.
  Use the new report: Start using the new report (&1) directly in the future.
  Update documentation and user training: Make sure that all users are aware of the new report name and use it instead of the old one.
  Check for any differences: Review the new report to understand if there are any changes in functionality or output compared to the old report.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is part of SAP's way to maintain backward compatibility while encouraging users to adopt newer, improved reports.
  If you want to find out more about the new report, you can look it up in transaction SE38 or SA38.
  Sometimes, the forwarding is done via a wrapper program or a call to the new report inside the old report.
  If you are a developer or system administrator, you can check the source code of the old report to see how the forwarding is implemented.
  If you want to suppress this message (not recommended), you might need to check with SAP OSS notes or system settings, but generally, it is better to accept the forwarding.
