  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP402 - No parameters exist for conversion cat. of plant & ?

    The SAP error message:

    WP402 No parameters exist for conversion cat. of plant &

    typically occurs in the context of Work Clearance Management (WCM) or Plant Maintenance (PM) when dealing with conversion categories related to plants.


    Meaning of the Error

    • WP402 indicates that the system cannot find the necessary parameters for the conversion category assigned to a particular plant.
    • The conversion category is used in SAP to define how certain data or processes are converted or handled for a specific plant.
    • The placeholder & in the message will be replaced by the plant code or conversion category in the actual message.

    Cause

    • The error arises because the system expects certain configuration parameters for the conversion category assigned to the plant, but these parameters are missing or not maintained.
    • This usually happens when:
      • The conversion category for the plant is defined but the detailed parameters (customizing settings) for that category are not maintained.
      • The plant is assigned a conversion category that is not configured in the system.
      • There is a mismatch or incomplete configuration in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under the relevant customizing node.

    Where to Check / Configuration Path

    1. Check the conversion category assigned to the plant:

      • Transaction: OX10 (Define Plants)
      • Verify the plant and its assigned conversion category.
    2. Check the parameters for the conversion category:

      • The customizing path depends on the module, but generally:
        • For Work Clearance Management (WCM):
          • SPRO ? Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ? Maintenance and Service Processing ? Work Clearance Management ? Define Conversion Categories
        • For Plant Maintenance or other modules, check the relevant IMG node where conversion categories are defined.
    3. Maintain parameters for the conversion category:

      • In the customizing, ensure that all required parameters for the conversion category are maintained.
      • This may include settings like allowed operations, status profiles, or other process-related parameters.

    Solution

    • Maintain the missing parameters for the conversion category assigned to the plant.
    • If the conversion category is incorrect or not needed, assign the correct conversion category to the plant.
    • If the conversion category does not exist, create it and maintain all required parameters.
    • After maintaining the parameters, re-run the process that triggered the error.

    Additional Notes

    • This error is configuration-related and does not indicate a system bug.
    • It is important to coordinate with the functional consultant responsible for Plant Maintenance or Work Clearance Management to ensure the correct configuration.
    • Sometimes, this error can appear during the creation or processing of work clearance documents or maintenance orders if the system cannot determine how to convert or handle data for the plant.
