• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS702 - Please check time format of '&1' ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_PROCESS702 – Please check time format of '&1'
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system encounters an invalid or incorrectly formatted time value during processing in the SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, particularly in processes related to warehouse tasks or goods movements.
  The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the actual time string that the system found problematic.
  Common causes include:
  
  Time values not matching the expected format (usually HHMMSS or HH:MM:SS depending on context).
  Input data containing invalid characters or incomplete time entries.
  Data transfer or interface issues where time fields are corrupted or incorrectly mapped.
  User input errors when manually entering time values.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Time Format:
  
  Verify the time value causing the error (shown in the message).
  Ensure it matches the expected format. For example, SAP often expects time in HHMMSS (e.g., 153000 for 3:30 PM) or HH:MM:SS depending on the program or interface.
  Correct the time format in the source data or input.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  If the time is coming from an interface or data upload, validate the source data file or interface mapping.
  Correct any discrepancies or formatting issues before reprocessing.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If custom programs or user exits are involved, review the code handling time fields.
  Ensure proper conversion and validation of time values.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Standard Transactions:
  
  If the error occurs during a standard transaction, try re-entering the data carefully.
  Use transaction codes related to WM/EWM to check or correct the time fields.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WGDS_PROCESS702 or time format issues in WM/EWM.
  Apply any relevant patches or corrections suggested by SAP.
