• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS372 - No message exists (internal error) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS372 No message exists (internal error)
  
  Cause
  The error message WS372 typically indicates an internal inconsistency or corruption in the SAP message handling system. Specifically, it means that the system tried to access a message (text) that does not exist or is not available in the message class or message repository.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or deleted message text in the message class.
  Inconsistent or corrupted message repository entries.
  Program or function module referencing a non-existent message number.
  Transport or upgrade issues where message classes were not properly imported or activated.
  Custom code or enhancements calling messages that are not defined.
  
  
  Explanation
  In SAP, messages are stored in message classes (transaction SE91). Each message class contains multiple messages identified by numbers. When a program calls a message number that does not exist in the specified message class, the system throws WS372.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Message Class and Number:
  
  Use transaction SE91 to open the message class referenced in the program.
  Verify if the message number exists.
  If missing, add the required message or correct the message number in the program.
  
  
  
  Check the Program or Code:
  
  Identify the program, function module, or object that triggers the error.
  Look for MESSAGE statements referencing the problematic message.
  Correct the message number or class if incorrect.
  
  
  
  Check Transport and Upgrade Logs:
  
  If the error appeared after a transport or system upgrade, verify that all message classes were properly imported and activated.
  Re-import or activate message classes if necessary.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the ABAP debugger to trace where the message is called.
  Check the parameters passed to the MESSAGE statement.
