• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW814 - Correction only possible in status "Temporarily in Process" ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_PPW814: Correction only possible in status "Temporarily in Process"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to make a correction or change to a document or process that is not currently in the status "Temporarily in Process". In SAP, certain corrections or edits are only allowed when the document/process is in a specific status that indicates it is still being worked on or is not yet finalized.
  For example, in workflows, purchase requisitions, or other approval processes, the system restricts changes once the document has moved beyond the "Temporarily in Process" status (e.g., after approval, release, or completion).
  
  Explanation:
  
  The status "Temporarily in Process" means the document is still editable.
  Once the document moves to a further status (like "Released", "Approved", or "Completed"), corrections are locked to maintain data integrity.
  Attempting to correct the document outside this allowed status triggers the WRF_PPW814 error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the current status of the document/process:
  
  Use the relevant transaction or report to view the status.
  Confirm if it is indeed in "Temporarily in Process".
  
  
  
  If the document is not in "Temporarily in Process":
  
  You cannot directly correct it.
  You may need to:
  
  Reset the status back to "Temporarily in Process" if your business process and authorization allow it.
  Or reverse/cancel the document and create a new one.
  Or follow the standard correction procedure defined for your process (e.g., create a correction document, credit memo, or adjustment).
  
  
  
  
  
  If you have authorization and the process allows:
  
  Use the appropriate SAP function or transaction to revert the status.
  For example, in some workflow or document scenarios, you can reject or send back the document to the "Temporarily in Process" status.
  
  
  
  Consult your process owner or SAP support team:
  
  Because status changes and corrections are often controlled by business rules, check with your functional team for the correct procedure.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in modules like MM (Materials Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), or workflow-related processes.
  The exact status name "Temporarily in Process" may vary slightly depending on the SAP module or customizations.
