  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR084 - Enter a quantity ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WR084 - Enter a quantity


    Cause:

    The error message WR084 "Enter a quantity" occurs when a required quantity field in a transaction or data entry screen is left empty or zero. SAP expects a valid quantity value to proceed with the process, such as in goods movement, production orders, sales orders, or inventory postings. If the quantity is missing or not entered, the system triggers this error to ensure data integrity and correct processing.


    When does it typically occur?

    • During goods receipt or goods issue postings (e.g., MIGO, MB1A, MB1B).
    • When creating or changing production orders or process orders.
    • While entering sales order line items where quantity is mandatory.
    • In inventory management transactions where quantity must be specified.

    Solution:

    1. Enter a valid quantity:
      Make sure to input a positive, non-zero quantity in the required field before saving or proceeding.

    2. Check field settings:
      If the quantity field is not visible or editable, check if the screen layout or user parameters restrict input.

    3. Review transaction context:
      Ensure that the transaction or document type you are working with requires a quantity and that you are entering it in the correct field.

    4. Check for custom validations:
      Sometimes, custom user exits or validations might enforce quantity entry. Review any custom code if standard behavior seems correct.


    Additional Information:

    • Message Class: WR (Warehouse Management)
    • Message Number: 084
    • This message is a standard prompt to prevent incomplete or invalid postings.
    • If you encounter this message in a custom program or report, verify that the quantity variable is properly populated before the save or post operation.

    Example:

    In transaction MIGO (Goods Movement), if you try to post a goods receipt without entering the quantity of materials received, SAP will display WR084 prompting you to enter the quantity.


    If you continue to face issues after entering a quantity, check for:

    • User authorizations.
    • Data inconsistencies.
    • System bugs or notes related to your SAP version.

    Summary:
    WR084 "Enter a quantity" means SAP requires a quantity input in a mandatory field. Simply enter a valid quantity to resolve the error.
