  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC500 - **** From 501 to 699, messages are reserved to Dialog Processing **** ?

    The SAP error message WRF_APC500 with the text:

    **** From 501 to 699, messages are reserved to Dialog Processing ****

    is related to the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) component, specifically within the APC (Advanced Planning and Control) module.


    Cause

    • This message typically occurs when an internal message number in the range 501 to 699 is triggered, but these message numbers are reserved for Dialog Processing in SAP.
    • The system is indicating that the message number being used is not valid or is reserved, and therefore cannot be processed in the current context.
    • It often happens due to:
      • Incorrect or inconsistent message number assignment in custom code or user exits.
      • A mismatch or error in the message class or message number used in the APO planning run or related function modules.
      • An internal inconsistency or bug in the APO system where a message number is incorrectly called.

    Solution

    1. Check the Message Number Usage:

      • Review the custom code, user exits, or enhancements that might be calling message numbers in the range 501 to 699.
      • Ensure that message numbers in this range are not used improperly, as they are reserved for dialog processing.
    2. Correct Message Number:

      • If you have custom developments, change the message number to a valid range outside 501-699.
      • SAP standard messages should not be altered, but if a custom message is used, assign it a number outside the reserved range.
    3. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Check for relevant SAP Notes related to WRF_APC500 or message number issues in APO.
      • If the problem persists and is due to a standard SAP bug, raise a support ticket with SAP, providing the exact scenario and system logs.
    4. Debugging:

      • Use transaction SE91 to check the message class and message number.
      • Debug the planning run or the function module where the message is raised to identify the source.

    Related Information

    • Message Number Ranges in SAP:

      • SAP reserves certain message number ranges for specific purposes.
      • For example, message numbers 501 to 699 are reserved for dialog processing and should not be used in background or batch processing.
    • APO and APC Context:

      • APC (Advanced Planning and Control) is a part of SAP APO used for detailed production planning.
      • Messages in APO are often tightly controlled to ensure proper processing and user interaction.
    • Transaction Codes:

      • SE91 - Message Maintenance
      • /SAPAPO/SDP94 - Interactive Planning (where planning runs are executed)
      • /SAPAPO/MC90 - Product View (to check master data)
