    SAP Error Message: WRMA131

    Message Text:
    At least one IDOC in plant &1, period &2 was posted with errors.


    Cause

    This message indicates that during the processing of IDOCs (Intermediate Documents) related to a specific plant and posting period, at least one IDOC was posted with errors. This typically happens in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) when IDOCs are used to transfer data such as goods movements, stock transfers, or inventory postings.

    Common causes include:

    • Incorrect or incomplete master data (e.g., material master, storage location, batch data).
    • Configuration issues in the warehouse or inventory management settings.
    • Data inconsistencies between the sending and receiving systems.
    • Errors in the IDOC segments or missing mandatory fields.
    • Authorization issues preventing proper posting.
    • Technical problems such as communication errors or system dumps during IDOC processing.

    Solution

    To resolve the WRMA131 error, follow these steps:

    1. Identify the Error IDOCs:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display IDOCs.
      • Filter by plant (&1) and posting period (&2) to find the relevant IDOCs.
      • Check the status of the IDOCs; those with errors usually have status 51 (error during processing).
    2. Analyze the Error Details:

      • Open the error IDOC and review the error messages in the status records.
      • Identify the exact cause of the error (e.g., missing data, incorrect values).
    3. Correct the Data or Configuration:

      • Fix master data inconsistencies (material master, batch, storage location).
      • Adjust configuration settings if necessary.
      • Ensure all mandatory fields in the IDOC are correctly populated.
    4. Reprocess the IDOCs:

      • After corrections, reprocess the IDOCs using transaction BD87 or WE19 (test tool).
      • Confirm that the IDOCs are processed successfully (status 53).
    5. Check Authorizations:

      • Verify that the user or background job processing the IDOCs has the necessary authorizations.
    6. Monitor and Prevent Future Errors:

      • Implement validations or checks before IDOC generation.
      • Regularly monitor IDOC processing logs.
