• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_BUDGET100 - Import parameter "Reference Date" is not filled ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_BUDGET100 Import parameter "Reference Date" is not filled
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the "Reference Date" parameter, which is mandatory for the budget import process, has not been provided or is left empty during the execution of the relevant function/module/program. The system requires this date to correctly process and validate budget data, as it often serves as a key date for budget validity or reference in the import logic.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During budget data import processes, especially when using SAP modules related to Funds Management (FM), Budgeting, or when running specific reports or interfaces that require a reference date.
  When calling function modules or BAPIs related to budget import where the "Reference Date" parameter is mandatory.
  In custom programs or standard SAP transactions that handle budget data import and require this parameter.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Provide the Reference Date:
  
  Ensure that the "Reference Date" field is filled with a valid date before executing the import.
  This date should be in the correct format (usually YYYYMMDD or as per the system date format).
  
  
  
  Check the Program/Transaction Input Screen:
  
  If you are running a standard transaction or report, verify that the input screen has the "Reference Date" field and that it is not left blank.
  If the field is missing, check for notes or patches or consult SAP support.
  
  
  
  In Custom Code:
  
  If this error arises from a custom program or interface, check the code where the import function/module is called.
  Make sure the parameter for "Reference Date" is correctly passed and not left initial or empty.
  Example: When calling a function module like WRF_BUDGET_IMPORT or similar, pass the reference date parameter explicitly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Sometimes, the reference date might be derived from configuration or user input defaults. Verify that these are set correctly.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WRF_BUDGET100 or budget import errors.
  Check SAP Help Portal or SAP Community for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Module: Funds Management (FM), Budgeting, or related Financial modules.
  Function Modules: Often related to budget import functions like WRF_BUDGET_IMPORT or similar.
  Transactions: Budget import transactions or custom programs.
  Parameter: "Reference Date" is typically a date field used to determine the validity or reference point for budget data.
  SAP Notes: Check for notes related to budget import errors or missing parameters.
  Debugging: If unsure, debug the program/function module to see where the parameter is expected and why it is missing.
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_BUDGET100 Import parameter "Reference Date" is not filled means the system expects a reference date for the budget import process, but it was not provided. To fix it, ensure the reference date is entered correctly in the input screen or passed properly in the code before running the import.
