    SAP Error Message: WL004 - "List with correct entries contains errors"


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs during the processing of a list of entries (often in logistics or warehouse management transactions) where the system detects that some entries, which were initially considered correct, actually contain errors upon further validation.

    Common scenarios include:

    • Data inconsistencies in the input list, such as incorrect material numbers, batch numbers, or storage locations.
    • Partial errors in a batch input or upload where some entries are valid but others fail validation.
    • Incorrect or missing mandatory fields in the list entries.
    • Mismatch between the list data and master data (e.g., material master, batch master).
    • Errors in quantity or unit of measure fields.
    • Authorization issues preventing processing of some entries.
    • Incorrect formatting or data structure in the input list.

    Solution:

    1. Review the Error Log:

      • Check the detailed error messages or logs that accompany WL004.
      • Identify which entries in the list are causing errors.
    2. Validate Input Data:

      • Verify that all materials, batches, storage locations, and other key fields exist and are correct.
      • Ensure quantities and units of measure are consistent and valid.
      • Check for missing mandatory fields.
    3. Correct the Erroneous Entries:

      • Fix the incorrect entries in the list.
      • Remove or exclude entries that cannot be processed.
    4. Reprocess the List:

      • After corrections, re-upload or reprocess the list.
    5. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to process all entries.
    6. Use SAP Tools:

      • Use transaction codes or reports that validate data before processing.
      • For batch input or data upload, use test runs to identify errors before actual posting.
    7. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to WL004 in your module or process.

    • Module Context: This error is often seen in Warehouse Management (WM), Inventory Management (IM), or Logistics Execution (LE) modules.
