    Error Message

    WR_POWL010: No records for distribution chain data found in system


    Cause

    This error typically occurs in SAP when the system is unable to find any distribution chain data related to a particular business object or process. The "distribution chain" in SAP usually refers to the combination of sales organization, distribution channel, and division that defines how products are distributed and sold.

    Common causes include:

    • Missing or incomplete distribution chain master data: The sales organization, distribution channel, and division combination is not maintained or assigned properly in the system.
    • Incorrect or missing configuration in the POWL (Personal Object Worklist) framework: The POWL query or filter is trying to fetch data based on distribution chain parameters that do not exist or are not assigned.
    • Authorization issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the distribution chain data.
    • Data inconsistency or incomplete master data setup: For example, the customer master or material master may not be assigned correctly to the distribution chain.
    • Incorrect selection criteria in the POWL query: The query might be filtering on distribution chain data that is not available.

    Solution

    1. Check Distribution Chain Master Data:

      • Verify that the sales organization, distribution channel, and division combinations exist and are correctly maintained.
      • Use transaction codes like OVX5 (Maintain Sales Organizations), OVXD (Maintain Distribution Channels), and OVXC (Maintain Divisions) to check master data.
      • Check the assignment of sales organization to company code (OVX2).
    2. Verify Customer and Material Master Data:

      • Ensure that the customer master (transaction XD03 or VD03) has the correct sales area data maintained.
      • Check that the material master (transaction MM03) is assigned to the relevant sales organization and distribution channel.
    3. Check POWL Configuration:

      • Review the POWL query/filter settings to ensure that the distribution chain parameters are correctly set.
      • Use transaction POWL_QUERY or POWL to check the query definitions.
      • If custom POWL queries are used, verify the underlying code or query logic.
    4. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to access distribution chain data.
      • Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.
    5. Debug or Trace:

      • If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the POWL query or the related BAdIs/User Exits might be necessary.
      • Use transaction ST05 (SQL trace) or SM50 (work process trace) to analyze the data retrieval process.
    6. Recreate or Refresh Distribution Chain Data:

      • Sometimes, reassigning or refreshing the distribution chain data in master records can help.

    Related Information

    • POWL (Personal Object Worklist): A framework in SAP that provides personalized worklists for users, often used in Fiori and SAP GUI.

      • OVX5 - Sales Organizations
      • OVXD - Distribution Channels

      • XD03 / VD03 - Customer Master Display
      • MM03 - Material Master Display
    • Authorization Check: Use SU53 after error to check missing authorizations.
    • POWL Query Maintenance: POWL_QUERY transaction.

    Summary

    Aspect Details
    Cause Missing or incorrect distribution chain data (sales org, distribution channel, division)
    Solution Verify and maintain distribution chain master data, check POWL query/filter, check authorizations
