Error Code: WL821
Error Message: Object '&1' method '&2' cannot be executed
Summary
This error means that a specific method (function or operation) cannot be performed on the given object within the SAP system. Essentially, the system is blocking the execution of a requested action on an object because it is not allowed or possible in the current context.
Root Causes
- The method being called is not implemented or supported for the object type.
- The object is in a state that prevents the method from executing (e.g., locked, incomplete, or invalid).
- Authorization or system configuration restrictions prevent the method execution.
- Incorrect or corrupted custom code or enhancements calling unsupported methods on standard or custom objects.
