  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE086 - Dynamic screen numbers not configured for Enh. Material Search ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WSD_MESSAGE086: Dynamic screen numbers not configured for Enh. Material Search


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to display or process an enhanced material search screen, but the dynamic screen numbers required for this enhanced search functionality are not properly configured in the system. Essentially, the enhancement expects certain screen numbers to be defined dynamically, but these are missing or not maintained in the configuration.

    This typically happens in scenarios where the standard material search functionality has been enhanced or customized (e.g., via BAdIs, user exits, or enhancement spots) to include additional search criteria or screens, but the necessary dynamic screen number assignments have not been set up.


    Solution:

    1. Check Configuration for Dynamic Screen Numbers:

      • The dynamic screen numbers for the enhanced material search need to be maintained in the customizing settings.
      • Usually, this is done in the IMG under the relevant material management or search configuration node.
      • For example, check the following path in SPRO:
        Logistics - General > Material Master > Settings for Material Search > Define Dynamic Screen Numbers for Enhanced Material Search
      • Maintain the required screen numbers as per your enhancement or custom development.
    2. Verify Enhancement Implementation:

      • If you have implemented a custom enhancement (e.g., via BAdI WSD_ENHANCED_MATERIAL_SEARCH or similar), ensure that the dynamic screen numbers are correctly assigned and returned by your code.
      • Check the implementation logic that determines which screen numbers to use and ensure it aligns with the configuration.
    3. Transport and System Consistency:

      • If the configuration was recently transported, verify that the transport was successful and the target system has the necessary entries.
      • Sometimes missing customizing in the target system causes this error.
    4. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Check for any SAP Notes related to enhanced material search and dynamic screen numbers.
      • Sometimes SAP provides corrections or additional instructions for specific enhancement scenarios.

    Related Information:

    • Enhancement Spots / BAdIs:
      • WSD_ENHANCED_MATERIAL_SEARCH or similar BAdIs might be involved in customizing the material search screens.
    • Material Master Search:
      • The enhanced material search allows users to search materials using additional criteria or screens beyond the standard search.
    • Dynamic Screen Numbers:
      • These are screen numbers assigned dynamically at runtime to display additional search screens.
    • Transaction / Program:
      • The error might appear during material search transactions like MM03, MM01, or custom search transactions.

    Summary:

    The error WSD_MESSAGE086 indicates missing configuration for dynamic screen numbers required by an enhanced material search. To resolve it, maintain the dynamic screen numbers in the customizing settings and verify any custom enhancement implementations related to material search screens.
