• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART027 - No original material specified ?

  The SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART027: No original material specified typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) processes, especially during follow-up processing or goods movement postings where the system expects a reference to an original material but does not find it.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the system is trying to process a follow-up action (such as a transfer posting, goods issue, or goods receipt) but the original material number is missing or not specified in the document or transaction.
  This can happen if:
  
  The material master data is incomplete or missing.
  The reference document (e.g., delivery, transfer order) does not contain the original material number.
  Custom code or user-exits/enhancements expect the original material but it is not passed.
  Incorrect or incomplete data entry in the transaction.
  Integration issues between SAP modules (e.g., between SD and WM/EWM) where material data is not properly transferred.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the material exists in the system and is active.
  Ensure that the material number is correctly maintained in the relevant views (Basic Data, Warehouse Management, etc.).
  
  
  
  Review the Document or Transaction:
  
  Check the document (e.g., delivery, transfer order) for the presence of the original material number.
  If the document is created via an interface or custom program, verify that the material number is correctly passed.
  
  
  
  Debug or Analyze the Process:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/TO_CONF (EWM Transfer Order Confirmation) or LT12 (WM Transfer Order Confirmation) to check the transfer order details.
  Check if the material number is missing in the transfer order or follow-up document.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If there are user-exits, BADIs, or enhancements involved in the process, verify that the original material number is correctly handled and passed.
  Debug the process to identify where the material number is lost or not assigned.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Correct the Document:
  
  If the document is corrupted or incomplete, try to recreate it or correct the entries.
  Ensure that all mandatory fields, including the original material, are filled.
