• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT_GENERATE111 - Alternate EKORG not allowed; EKORG grouping required ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_AT_GENERATE111 Alternate EKORG not allowed; EKORG grouping required
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the generation of a workflow or a related process in SAP when an alternate purchasing organization (EKORG) is specified but the system requires grouping by purchasing organization (EKORG). In other words, the system expects that the data be grouped by EKORG, but an alternate EKORG is provided without proper grouping, which is not allowed.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Purchase requisition or purchase order processing workflows.
  Automatic workflow generation where multiple purchasing organizations are involved.
  When the system is configured to enforce grouping by purchasing organization for approval or processing steps, but the input data or configuration tries to use an alternate EKORG without grouping.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  EKORG = Purchasing Organization in SAP MM.
  The system requires that documents or workflow steps be grouped by EKORG to maintain consistency in processing.
  Using an alternate EKORG without grouping breaks this consistency, hence the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Workflow Configuration:
  
  Verify the workflow or process configuration that triggers this error.
  Ensure that the workflow steps or conditions are set to group by EKORG.
  If alternate EKORGs are used, make sure they are properly grouped or handled in the workflow logic.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data and Document Data:
  
  Check the purchasing organization data in the documents (purchase requisitions, purchase orders).
  Ensure that the EKORG values are consistent and grouped as required.
  
  
  
  Adjust Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If custom code or user exits are involved in workflow generation or document processing, review them to ensure they respect EKORG grouping.
  Modify the logic to either avoid using alternate EKORGs without grouping or implement grouping logic.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to this error message for any patches or recommended fixes.
  If the error persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP, providing details of the workflow and document data.
