  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_MASS015 - Job &1 was scheduled with &2 documents ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Message:

    WS_MASS015: Job &1 was scheduled with &2 documents


    1. Cause:

    This message is an informational message rather than an error. It appears when you schedule a background job in SAP that processes multiple documents at once (mass processing). The placeholders:

    • &1 = Job name or job ID
    • &2 = Number of documents processed in the job

    The system is informing you that the background job &1 has been scheduled and will process &2 documents.

    This message typically appears in scenarios such as:

    • Mass printing of documents (invoices, delivery notes, etc.)
    • Mass processing of workflow tasks
    • Mass archiving or deletion jobs

    It is not an error but a confirmation that the job has been scheduled successfully with the specified number of documents.


    2. Solution:

    Since this is an informational message, no corrective action is required. However, you can:

    • Verify the job in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check its status and logs.
    • Check the spool requests generated by the job if it involves printing.
    • Monitor the job execution to ensure all documents are processed correctly.

    If you expected a different number of documents or no documents at all, then you may want to:

    • Review the selection criteria used when scheduling the job.
    • Check if the documents are correctly flagged for processing.
    • Ensure that the job variant or parameters are set correctly.

    3. Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SM36 – Schedule background jobs
      • SM37 – Monitor background jobs
      • SP01 – Display spool requests (for print jobs)
      • WSMass – Workflow mass processing (depending on module)
    • Common Scenarios:

      • Mass printing of billing documents (VF31)
      • Mass archiving jobs (SARA)
      • Workflow mass processing jobs
    • SAP Notes / Documentation:

      • This message is part of the standard SAP workflow or background job scheduling messages.
      • No specific SAP Note is usually required unless the job fails or processes an unexpected number of documents.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
