• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC551 - Net weight cannot be greater than 1000 (BAdI Example) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WRF_APC551 Net weight cannot be greater than 1000 (BAdI Example):
  
  Error Message
  WRF_APC551: Net weight cannot be greater than 1000 (BAdI Example)
  
  Cause
  This error message typically arises from a custom validation implemented via a BAdI (Business Add-In) in SAP, specifically designed to check the net weight of a material or product during a process (e.g., production order confirmation, goods movement, or sales order processing).
  
  The BAdI contains a custom rule that restricts the net weight value to a maximum of 1000 units.
  When the net weight entered or calculated exceeds this threshold, the system triggers this error message.
  This is not a standard SAP error, but rather a custom message implemented as an example or for specific business requirements.
  
  
  Where It Occurs
  
  In scenarios where net weight is entered or processed (e.g., during production confirmation, packing, or delivery).
  The BAdI implementation checks the net weight and raises this error if the value is too high.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the BAdI Implementation:
  
  Identify the BAdI responsible for this validation. The message text suggests it is part of a BAdI example, possibly related to weight validation.
  Common BAdIs related to weight or confirmation include:
  
  WORKORDER_CONFIRMATION
  COHV_BADI
  Or a custom BAdI created for weight validation.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review the Custom Code:
  
  Look for the logic that compares the net weight against 1000.
  Example snippet:
  IF net_weight > 1000.
    MESSAGE wrf_apc551 TYPE 'E'.
  ENDIF.
  
  
  
  
  Adjust the Threshold or Logic:
  
  If the business requirement allows, increase the maximum allowed net weight.
  If the limit is too restrictive or incorrect, modify or remove the validation.
  Alternatively, if the weight is genuinely too high, correct the input data.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After adjusting the BAdI code, test the process again to ensure the error no longer occurs for valid weights.
