    SAP Error Message:

    WPOC015 - Errors occurred during posting; document &1 has not been changed


    Cause:

    This error occurs during the posting process in SAP when the system encounters one or more errors that prevent the document from being successfully posted. As a result, the document remains unchanged (not posted). The placeholder &1 is replaced by the document number that was attempted to be posted.

    Common causes include:

    • Data inconsistencies or missing mandatory fields in the document.
    • Validation or substitution errors triggered by user exits or custom logic.
    • Authorization issues preventing posting.
    • Technical problems such as database locks or update failures.
    • Incorrect or incomplete configuration in the posting process.
    • Errors in related master data (e.g., vendor, customer, GL accounts).
    • Currency or amount inconsistencies.
    • Batch input or background job errors if posting is done via these methods.

    Solution:

    To resolve the error, follow these steps:

    1. Check the detailed error log:

      • After the error message appears, SAP usually provides additional error messages or logs that specify the exact reason for the failure.
      • Use transaction codes like SM13 (update errors), SM21 (system log), or check the application log via SLG1 for more details.
    2. Review the document data:

      • Verify that all mandatory fields are correctly filled.
      • Check for any inconsistencies in amounts, currencies, or account assignments.
    3. Check user exits or validations:

      • If custom validations or substitutions are active, ensure they are not causing the error.
      • Debug or review the custom code if necessary.
    4. Verify authorizations:

      • Ensure the user posting the document has the required authorizations.
    5. Check master data:

      • Validate that related master data (vendors, customers, GL accounts) are active and correctly maintained.
    6. Retry posting:

      • After correcting the issues, try posting the document again.
    7. Consult SAP Notes:
