• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_ART_DISCONT005 - No follow-up action is defined for message &1 &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_ART_DISCONT005 No follow-up action is defined for message &1 &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a message (usually related to workflow or document processing) but cannot find a defined follow-up action for the given message type and message number. In other words, the system expects a subsequent step or action to be triggered after a message is processed, but no such follow-up action has been configured.
  This is common in scenarios involving workflow messages, document change messages, or status management where messages trigger further processing steps.
  
  Explanation of the Message Variables:
  
  &1: Message type or message class
  &2: Message number or message ID
  
  The system is indicating that for the message identified by these two parameters, no follow-up action is set up.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Workflow messages where no subsequent workflow step is defined.
  Document change messages where no follow-up processing is configured.
  Status management where a message triggers an event but no event handler or follow-up action exists.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Message Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction or IMG node where message types and their follow-up actions are defined.
  For example, in workflow, check the message type configuration in transaction SWO1 or workflow customizing.
  For document change messages, check the message schema or status profile configuration.
  
  
  
  Define Follow-up Action:
  
  Assign a follow-up action (such as triggering a workflow, sending a notification, or updating a status) to the message type and number.
  This might involve:
  
  Defining a workflow event or task.
  Assigning a processing routine.
  Configuring status profile with appropriate actions.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Message Handling:
  
  Use transaction SPRO and navigate to the relevant customizing path for the application area (e.g., Materials Management, Sales and Distribution, Workflow).
  Ensure that the message &1 &2 has a follow-up action defined.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or BAdIs:
  
  Sometimes, custom code might be expected to handle follow-up actions.
  Verify if any user exits or BAdIs related to message processing are implemented and functioning correctly.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If unsure, debug the process where the error occurs to identify which message is causing the issue and why no follow-up action is found.
