• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_MASS020 - & entries from T61I on document category & have been deleted ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WS_MASS020 and the related issue of entries from T61I on document category & being deleted.
  
  SAP Error Message: WS_MASS020
  Message Text:
  Entries from T61I on document category & have been deleted.
  
  1. Cause
  
  The error WS_MASS020 occurs during mass processing of document categories in SAP, particularly when entries in the customizing table T61I (which stores document category-specific settings for accounting documents) have been deleted or are missing.
  The placeholder & in the message represents the document category that is affected.
  This situation typically arises when:
  
  Customizing entries for a specific document category in T61I have been deleted or are inconsistent.
  There is an attempt to process or post documents of a category for which the system cannot find the necessary configuration in T61I.
  Mass processing or mass changes (e.g., via transaction MASS or custom programs) have removed or altered entries in T61I unintentionally.
  
  
  Since T61I controls important settings for document categories (like number ranges, posting rules, etc.), missing entries cause the system to raise this error to prevent inconsistent document processing.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the WS_MASS020 error, follow these steps:
  Step 1: Identify the Document Category
  
  Check the exact document category (the value of &) mentioned in the error.
  You can find this in the error log or the context where the error occurs.
  
  Step 2: Check Entries in Table T61I
  
  Use transaction SE16N or SE11 to view table T61I.
  Filter by the document category to see if entries exist.
  If entries are missing, this confirms the cause.
  
  Step 3: Restore or Recreate Entries
  
  If entries are missing or deleted, restore them by:
  
  Re-importing customizing from a backup or transport request.
  Manually recreating the entries via customizing transactions.
  
  
  
  Step 4: Use the Correct Customizing Transaction
  
  The customizing for document categories is usually maintained in:
  
  SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Document ? Document Types ? Define Document Types
  Or directly via transaction OBA7 (for document types and number ranges).
  
  
  Ensure that the document category has all required entries in T61I.
  
  Step 5: Check for Mass Changes
  
  If mass changes were made, verify that they did not delete necessary entries.
  Revert or correct mass changes if needed.
  
  Step 6: Test the Process
  
  After restoring entries, retry the process that caused the error.
  The error should no longer occur if the entries are correctly maintained.
