• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH081 - Setting & not supported ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WH081 - Setting & not supported
  
  Cause:
  The error message WH081 typically occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module of SAP when an unsupported or invalid setting is used in a warehouse process or configuration. The ampersand (&) symbol in the message usually represents a placeholder for a specific setting or parameter that is not supported in the current context.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Using a warehouse process type, movement type, or storage type setting that is not valid or not supported by the system.
  Incorrect or inconsistent configuration in warehouse process settings.
  Attempting to use a setting or parameter that is not allowed in the current warehouse management process or system version.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Unsupported Setting:
  
  Check the exact setting or parameter referenced by the & in the error message.
  Review the warehouse process or configuration step where the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Activities ? Define Warehouse Process Types or related settings).
  Verify that the settings used are valid and supported for the warehouse process or movement type.
  
  
  
  Correct the Configuration:
  
  Replace or remove the unsupported setting.
  Ensure that all warehouse process types, movement types, and storage types are correctly defined and consistent.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to message WH081 for any known issues or patches.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation for the specific warehouse process or configuration area.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After correction, test the warehouse process again to confirm the error is resolved.

  Additional Tips:
  
  The ampersand (&) in SAP messages is a placeholder for dynamic content; the actual message in your system will show the specific unsupported setting.
  If the error occurs during a custom development or enhancement, review the code or user-exit to ensure only supported settings are passed.
