Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC200 - **** From 201 to 399, the messages are reserved to purchasing list **** ?

  The SAP error message WRF_APC200 with the text "** From 201 to 399, the messages are reserved to purchasing list **" typically occurs in the context of Automatic Purchase Requisition (PR) or Purchase Order (PO) processing within the Materials Management (MM) or Production Planning (PP) modules.
  
  Cause
  
  The message indicates that the system is trying to assign or process message types (message numbers) in the range 201 to 399, which are reserved exclusively for purchasing list messages.
  In SAP, message numbers in this range are predefined and reserved for specific purchasing-related messages.
  If a custom or standard process attempts to use these message numbers incorrectly (e.g., in a context where they are not allowed or expected), the system raises this error.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect configuration of message determination procedures.
  Custom enhancements or user exits that assign message numbers in the reserved range.
  Incorrect or inconsistent message schema or condition records.
  Misuse of message types in output determination or workflow.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Message Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Messages ? Define Message Types.
  Verify that message types and numbers assigned in your process do not fall into the reserved range (201-399) unless they are meant for purchasing list messages.
  
  
  
  Review Message Determination Procedure:
  
  Check the message determination procedure for the relevant document type (PR, PO).
  Ensure that message numbers assigned are valid and not overlapping with reserved ranges.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code / Enhancements:
  
  Review any user exits, BADIs, or custom programs that might assign or manipulate message numbers.
  Correct any logic that assigns message numbers in the reserved range improperly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Message Schema or Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction MEQ1 or MEQ2 to review and adjust message condition records.
  Ensure that message numbers are correctly maintained and do not conflict with reserved ranges.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to message number ranges and purchasing list messages.
  Apply any relevant corrections or patches.
