• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS761 - A model or configuration ID is required ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_PROCESS761: A model or configuration ID is required
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Variant Configuration (VC) or SAP Product Configuration when the system expects a Model ID or Configuration ID to be provided but it is missing or not passed correctly during the configuration or processing step.
  Specifically, this message is triggered when:
  
  The system tries to process a configuration or variant but does not receive a valid Model ID or Configuration ID.
  The configuration process is initiated without specifying the required identifiers.
  The integration between sales documents and configuration is not correctly maintained, causing the system to lose track of the configuration context.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During sales order creation or change when configuring a configurable material.
  When calling configuration functions or APIs without passing the necessary model/configuration identifiers.
  In custom developments or enhancements where configuration IDs are not properly handled.
  When using transaction VC or VC-related function modules and missing required parameters.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the Model ID or Configuration ID is correctly passed to the configuration function/module.
  In standard SAP transactions (e.g., VA01, VA02), verify that the configurable material is correctly maintained and the configuration is initiated properly.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master and Configuration Setup:
  
  Confirm that the material is correctly assigned to a configuration model in the material master (transaction MM42 or MM03).
  Check that the configuration profile and model are active and valid.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If the error occurs in custom developments, debug and verify that the configuration ID or model ID is fetched and passed correctly.
  Use standard SAP function modules like CU_CONFIGURE_MATERIAL or CU_READ_MODEL with correct parameters.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Document and Configuration Integration:
  
  Ensure that the sales document item has the configuration assigned.
  If configuration is done via external tools or interfaces, verify that the configuration context is maintained.
