  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WJ211 - Class & not found: correct your entry ?

    The SAP error message:

    WJ211 Class & not found: correct your entry

    typically occurs when the system cannot find a specified class in the classification system. This message is related to the SAP Classification system (Class and Characteristics), which is used in various modules like MM (Material Management), PM (Plant Maintenance), and others to classify objects.


    Cause

    • The class you are trying to assign or reference does not exist in the system.
    • The class number or class type entered is incorrect or mistyped.
    • The class might have been deleted or is not yet created.
    • The class is not valid for the object or application area you are working in.
    • Sometimes, the class master data is not properly maintained or activated.

    Solution

    1. Check the Class Number and Type:

      • Verify that the class number you entered is correct.
      • Check the class type (e.g., 001 for material classes, 032 for equipment classes, etc.) and ensure it matches the intended use.
    2. Verify Class Existence:

      • Use transaction CL02 (Change Class) or CL03 (Display Class) to check if the class exists.
      • If the class does not exist, create it using CL01 (Create Class).
    3. Check Classification System Setup:

      • Ensure that the classification system is properly configured.
      • Check if the class is valid for the object type you are working with.
    4. Correct Your Entry:

      • Re-enter the class number carefully.
      • Avoid leading/trailing spaces or incorrect characters.
    5. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to access or assign the class.
    6. Transport and System Consistency:

      • If the class was recently created in a development system, ensure it has been transported to the current system.
      • Check for inconsistencies or missing transports.

    Related Information

    • Transaction Codes:

      • CL01 - Create Class
      • CL02 - Change Class
      • CL03 - Display Class
      • CL20N - Classification (assign characteristics to objects)
      • CL30N - Object List by Class

    • Modules Using Classification:

      • MM (Material Management)
      • PM (Plant Maintenance)
      • SD (Sales and Distribution)
      • QM (Quality Management)
    • Additional Tips:

      • If you are importing data via LSMW or BAPIs, ensure the class data is consistent and exists in the target system.
      • Sometimes, the error can occur during batch input or data migration if the class master data is missing.

    If you provide the context in which this error occurs (e.g., during material master creation, equipment classification, etc.), I can give more specific guidance.
