• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_CON001 - Document &1 is not a contract ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_PRC_CON001 Document &1 is not a contract
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a document number provided or referenced in a process is expected to be a contract document, but the system finds that the document is not classified as a contract. In other words, the system is trying to process or validate a document as a contract, but the document type or status does not correspond to a contract.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The document number entered is incorrect or belongs to a different document type (e.g., a purchase order, invoice, or quotation instead of a contract).
  The document has not been created or maintained as a contract in the system.
  The document might have been deleted or archived.
  The process or transaction expects a contract document but receives a different document type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Document Number:
  
  Check the document number entered in the transaction or process.
  Ensure that the document number corresponds to a valid contract in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type:
  
  Use transaction codes like ME33K (Display Contract) or ME32K (Change Contract) to verify if the document exists as a contract.
  If the document cannot be found in these transactions, it is not a contract.
  
  
  
  Correct Document Reference:
  
  If the document number is wrong, correct it to the appropriate contract number.
  If the process requires a contract, ensure that the document you are referencing is indeed a contract.
  
  
  
  Create Contract if Missing:
  
  If a contract is required but not yet created, create the contract using ME31K (Create Contract).
  
  
  
  Check Customizing or Process Logic:
  
  If this error occurs in a custom program or enhancement, check the logic that validates the document type.
  Ensure that the program correctly identifies contract documents.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Sometimes, the user might not have authorization to view or access the contract, leading to the system not recognizing the document as a contract.
  Verify user authorizations related to contract display/change.

  Transaction Codes:

  ME32K - Change Contract
  ME33K - Display Contract
  ME23N - Display Purchase Order (to check if the document is a PO instead of a contract)
  
  
  
  Document Types:
  
  Contracts in SAP MM are typically document types like MK (Outline Agreement - Contract).
  Ensure the document number belongs to such a type.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Help:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to contract processing errors.
  Review SAP Help documentation on Outline Agreements and Contracts.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_PRC_CON001 Document &1 is not a contract means the system expected a contract document but found a different document type or no contract at all. Verify the document number, ensure it is a contract, correct the reference, or create the contract if missing. Also, check user authorizations and custom code if applicable.
