Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS070 - No document numbers passed on (internal error) ?

  The SAP error message WS070: No document numbers passed on (internal error) typically occurs during document processing in Financial Accounting (FI) or related modules when the system expects document numbers to be passed or generated but finds none.
  
  Cause
  
  Missing or empty document number(s): The system expects one or more document numbers to be passed to a function module, BAPI, or program, but the document number field(s) are empty or not filled.
  Internal inconsistency or programming error: This can happen if a custom program, user exit, or enhancement incorrectly handles document number assignment or passes empty values.
  Data inconsistency or incomplete posting: Sometimes, the error arises if the document creation process is interrupted or incomplete, leading to missing document numbers.
  Incorrect parameter passing in BAPI or function module calls: For example, when calling BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST or similar, if the document number is expected but not provided or returned, this error can occur.
  System or database inconsistencies: Rarely, database inconsistencies or transport errors can cause this internal error.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the program or transaction flow:
  
  Identify where the error occurs (e.g., during posting, BAPI call, batch input session).
  Review the code or configuration to ensure document numbers are correctly generated and passed.
  
  
  
  Debug the process:
  
  Use the ABAP debugger to trace the point where document numbers are expected.
  Check the variables or structures holding document numbers to confirm they are not empty.
  
  
  
  Verify BAPI or function module parameters:
  
  If using BAPIs like BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST, ensure all mandatory fields are filled.
  Confirm that the document number is correctly returned and handled.
  
  
  
  Check for custom code or user exits:
  
  Review any enhancements, user exits, or BADIs that might manipulate document numbers.
  Correct any logic that might clear or fail to assign document numbers.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or repost the document:
  
  If the error occurred during batch input or data migration, try to reprocess the document.
