  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPSOR011 - Task list &1: activity type &2 not valid for operation &4 ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    WPSOR011
    Text: Task list &1: activity type &2 not valid for operation &4


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to assign or use an activity type in a task list that is not valid or allowed for the specified operation.

    • Task list &1: The task list number or identifier.
    • Activity type &2: The activity type you are trying to assign or use.
    • Operation &4: The operation number or identifier in the task list.

    In SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or Production Planning (PP), each operation in a task list can have certain activity types assigned to it. If the activity type is not configured or allowed for that operation, the system throws this error.


    Common Causes:

    1. Incorrect activity type assignment: The activity type is not defined or allowed for the operation in the task list.
    2. Configuration issue: The activity type is not maintained in the customizing settings for the operation or task list type.
    3. Master data inconsistency: The task list or operation master data might be incomplete or inconsistent.
    4. Wrong task list type: The activity type might be valid only for certain task list types (e.g., maintenance task lists vs. production task lists).

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check the activity type assignment:

      • Go to the task list and verify the activity types assigned to the operation.
      • Use transaction IA05 (Change Task List) or IA06 (Display Task List) to check the operation and activity types.
    2. Verify customizing settings:

      • Check the configuration for activity types in the IMG path:
        Logistics ? Plant Maintenance ? Maintenance Processing ? Task Lists ? Operations ? Define Activity Types
      • Ensure the activity type &2 is defined and allowed for the operation/task list type you are working with.
    3. Check task list type and operation:

      • Confirm that the activity type is valid for the task list type (e.g., PM task list, production task list).
      • If necessary, adjust the task list type or use a valid activity type.
    4. Correct the master data:

      • If the task list or operation is incorrect, create or modify it to include valid activity types.
      • Use transaction IA05 or IA06 to maintain the task list.
    5. Consult SAP documentation or OSS notes:

      • Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address this error with patches or detailed instructions.

    Additional Information:

    • Activity types in SAP PM are used to specify the kind of work or service performed during an operation.
    • Valid activity types depend on the task list type and operation.
    • This error is common when copying or creating task lists manually or via interfaces where activity types are not properly maintained.
