  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS060 - Document & cannot be processed with this transaction ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WS060 - Document & cannot be processed with this transaction


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to process a document in a transaction that does not support the document type or the document is not valid for the current transaction. Essentially, the system is telling you that the document you are trying to use cannot be handled by the transaction you are running.

    Common scenarios include:

    • Attempting to post or change a document in a transaction that is not designed for that document type.
    • Using a document number from a different module or process in a transaction that expects a different document type.
    • The document status or type is incompatible with the transaction logic.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Document Type:
      Verify the document type of the document you are trying to process. Make sure it matches the document types allowed in the transaction you are using.

    2. Use the Correct Transaction:
      Identify the correct transaction for the document type. For example, if you are trying to process a financial document, use the appropriate FI transaction (FB01, FB02, etc.). For MM documents, use MM transactions, and so on.

    3. Verify Document Status:
      Check if the document is already posted, reversed, or blocked. Some transactions do not allow processing of documents in certain statuses.

    4. Check Customizing Settings:
      In some cases, the customizing of document types and transaction codes might restrict processing. Check the configuration in SPRO under the relevant module (e.g., Financial Accounting ? Document ? Document Types).

    5. Consult SAP Notes:
      Sometimes, this error can be due to a known issue or patch requirement. Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WS060.
