  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPLG032 - Query field name 'WERKS' or 'KUNAG' must be contained in method & ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WPLG032: Query field name 'WERKS' or 'KUNAG' must be contained in method &?


    Cause:

    This error occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Object Processing when a method is being called that requires certain key fields (in this case, 'WERKS' or 'KUNAG') to be included in the query or selection criteria, but these fields are missing.

    • WERKS typically refers to the Plant field.
    • KUNAG typically refers to the Customer or Sold-to party.

    The method you are trying to execute expects these fields to be part of the query or the method's input parameters to uniquely identify the object instance or to process the workflow correctly.


    When does it occur?

    • When you are triggering a workflow or calling a method on a Business Object (e.g., BUS2032 for Sales Order, BUS1001 for Material, etc.).
    • The method requires certain key fields to be passed, but the query or the method call does not include these fields.
    • This often happens in custom workflows or when enhancing standard workflows where the method signature or the query is not correctly maintained.

    Solution:

    1. Include the required fields in the query or method call:

      • Ensure that the query or the method call includes the fields 'WERKS' (Plant) and/or 'KUNAG' (Customer) as required by the method.
      • Check the method interface or the Business Object method documentation to confirm which fields are mandatory.
    2. Check the Business Object and Method definition:

      • Use transaction SWO1 to check the Business Object and the method.
      • Verify the method parameters and the key fields required.
      • Make sure the method call in your workflow or program passes these fields.
    3. Adjust the workflow container or method binding:

      • If this error occurs in a workflow, check the container elements and method binding.
      • Add the missing fields to the container and bind them properly to the method parameters.
    4. Review the Query or Selection Screen:

      • If the method is called based on a query, ensure the query includes 'WERKS' and/or 'KUNAG'.
      • Modify the query to include these fields.
    5. Debugging:

      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to analyze workflow logs.
      • Debug the workflow or method call to see where the fields are missing.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SWO1: Business Object Builder — to check object and method definitions.
    • Transaction SWDD: Workflow Builder — to check and modify workflows.
    • Transaction SE37: Function Module Builder — if the method is a function module.
    • SAP Notes: Search for WPLG032 in SAP Support Portal for any specific notes or patches.
    • SAP Help Portal: Documentation on Business Objects and Workflow methods.

    Summary:

    The error WPLG032 indicates that the method you are trying to execute requires the fields 'WERKS' or 'KUNAG' to be part of the input, but they are missing. To fix this, include these fields in your query, method call, or workflow container as required.


    If you provide more context (e.g., which Business Object or workflow you are working with), I can give more specific guidance.
