• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS210 - No material number passed on ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS210 - No material number passed on
  
  Cause:
  The error message WS210 occurs when a process or transaction in SAP expects a material number (Material Master number) as an input, but this value is missing or not passed correctly. This typically happens in scenarios involving material master data processing, goods movements, production orders, or sales documents where the material number is a mandatory field.
  Common causes include:
  
  The material number field is left blank in the input screen or interface.
  Incorrect or incomplete data transfer from external systems or interfaces (e.g., IDocs, BAPIs).
  Custom programs or user exits/enhancements that fail to supply the material number.
  Configuration or master data inconsistencies where the system cannot determine the material number.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WS210 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Input Data:
  
  Ensure that the material number is entered correctly in the transaction or program.
  If data is coming from an interface, verify that the material number is included and correctly mapped.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Confirm that the material number exists in the Material Master (MM01/MM03).
  Check if the material is active and valid for the relevant plant or sales organization.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or user exit, debug to check why the material number is not being passed.
  Ensure that all mandatory fields, especially material number, are populated before processing.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify if any configuration settings require a material number and if these are correctly maintained.
  For example, in production orders or sales documents, ensure that the item category or document type settings do not suppress the material number field.
  
  
  
  Interface Troubleshooting:
  
  For IDocs or BAPI calls, check the segments or parameters to ensure the material number is included.
  Use transaction WE02/WE05 to analyze IDocs and confirm material number presence.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Correct Data:
  
  After correcting the input or master data, reprocess the transaction or document.
