• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_WSUBST012 - Info displayed in BAdI implementation; purchase order &1, item &2 ?

  The SAP error message WRF_WSUBST012 typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when there is an issue related to the substitution of materials in the purchasing process. This message is often associated with the implementation of Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that handle material substitution logic.
  Cause:
  The error message WRF_WSUBST012 indicates that there is a problem with the substitution logic for a specific purchase order and item. The common causes for this error include:
  
  Missing Substitution Data: The system may not have the necessary data to perform the substitution for the specified material.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for material substitution may not be set up correctly in the system.
  BAdI Implementation Issues: There may be issues or bugs in the custom BAdI implementation that is supposed to handle the substitution logic.
  Material Status: The material being substituted may have a status that prevents it from being used in the purchase order.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WRF_WSUBST012 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Substitution Settings: Verify the configuration settings for material substitution in the SAP system. Ensure that the necessary substitution rules are defined and active.
  
  
  Review BAdI Implementation: If you have a custom BAdI implementation, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles the substitution logic. Look for any potential errors or missing logic that could lead to this message being triggered.
  
  
  Validate Material Data: Check the material master data for the materials involved in the purchase order. Ensure that the materials are active and have the necessary attributes for substitution.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, consider debugging the BAdI implementation to identify where the error is occurring. This can provide insights into what data is missing or what logic is failing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to material substitution and the specific BAdI you are using. This can provide additional context and guidance on how to properly implement and configure the substitution logic.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide updates/fixes related to material substitution.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAdI Implementation: The specific BAdI implementation that is causing the error can be identified by looking at the implementation details in the SAP system. Common BAdIs related to material substitution include WRF_SUBSTITUTION.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE18 (for BAdI definitions) and SE19 (for BAdI implementations) to investigate the BAdI implementation.
  Material Master: Transaction code MM03 can be used to view the material master data for the materials involved in the purchase order.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the WRF_WSUBST012 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
