  SAP Error Message: WP791
  Text:
  
  Document & was set for processing without checks by &
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This message indicates that a document (such as a work order, maintenance order, or notification) was flagged or set for processing without the usual system checks being performed. The placeholders & represent:
  
  The document number (e.g., order number)
  The user or process that set the document for processing without checks
  
  This situation typically arises when a document is manually or programmatically marked to bypass standard validation or consistency checks before processing. This can be intentional (e.g., for urgent processing or during testing) or accidental.
  
  Common Causes
  
  Manual override: A user or administrator has deliberately set the document to be processed without checks, possibly using a special function or transaction.
  Custom program or user exit: A custom development or user exit might have set the document for processing without checks.
  System or process error: Sometimes, due to system inconsistencies or errors, the document status might be incorrectly set.
  Testing or debugging: During testing, documents might be set to bypass checks to speed up processing.
  
  
  Implications
  
  Processing without checks can lead to inconsistent or incorrect data being posted.
  It may bypass important validations, leading to errors downstream.
  Should be used cautiously and only when you are sure that the document is consistent and valid.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Verify the document:
  
  Check the document number mentioned in the message to ensure it is complete and consistent.
  
  
  Check who set the document for processing without checks:
  
  Identify the user or process (from the second placeholder &) that set this flag. This can help understand if it was intentional.
  
  
  Review the reason for bypass:  
  
  If it was intentional and justified, you may proceed with processing.
  If it was accidental, reset the document status to require checks before processing.
  
  
  
  Reset the processing flag:
  
  Depending on the document type, you may need to reset the flag or status that indicates "processing without checks." This might involve:
  
  Using standard SAP transactions to change the status.
  Running a report or program to reset the flag.
  Consulting with your SAP functional consultant or Basis team.
  
  
  
  Check for custom code:
  
  If this behavior is caused by custom developments, review the code to ensure it is not bypassing checks unintentionally.
  
  
  Reprocess the document:
  
  After resetting, process the document again so that all standard checks are performed.
