• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP640 - Internal error: Goods movement items processed without any result ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WP640 Internal error: Goods movement items processed without any result
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs during a goods movement transaction (such as a goods issue, goods receipt, transfer posting, or physical inventory posting) when the system processes the movement items but does not generate any results or updates in the database. In other words, the goods movement document is created or processed internally, but no material document or accounting document is generated, which is inconsistent and leads to this internal error.
  Common causes include:
  
  Inconsistent or incomplete data in the material master or movement type configuration.
  Custom user exits or BAdIs that interfere with the standard processing and prevent the creation of material documents.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in movement types or plant/storage location settings.
  Lock or update conflicts in the database during the posting.
  Authorization issues that prevent the system from completing the posting.
  Bugs or inconsistencies in the SAP standard code, especially if the system is not fully patched.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Material Master and Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Verify that the material master data is complete and valid for the movement type.
  Check the movement type configuration in transaction OMJJ to ensure it is correctly set up for the intended goods movement.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Enhancements:
  
  Check for any user exits, BAdIs, or enhancements related to goods movement (e.g., MB_DOCUMENT_BADI, MB_MIGO_BADI) that might be causing the issue.
  Temporarily disable or debug these enhancements to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Transaction Logs and Dumps:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for any short dumps related to the error.
  Use SM13 to check for update failures.
  Use SM21 for system logs that might indicate database or authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to post goods movements.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error to check for missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Debug the Process:
  
  If you have development access, debug the transaction (e.g., MIGO) to identify where the processing fails to generate results.
  Look for internal tables or variables that should contain the results but are empty.
  
  
  
  Apply SAP Notes:
  
  Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to message WP640 or goods movement errors.
  Apply any relevant SAP Notes or patches.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Correct the Document:
  
  If the error occurred during a batch job or interface, check the input data.
  Try to reprocess the goods movement with corrected data.

  Summary:
  The WP640 Internal error indicates that the goods movement process ran but did not produce any material or accounting document, which is an internal inconsistency. The root cause is often configuration issues, custom code interference, or authorization problems. The solution involves checking configuration, debugging custom enhancements, verifying authorizations, and applying relevant SAP Notes.
