  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSD_MESSAGE244: Enter a screen number for Primary Criteria
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are working with Web Services or Web Service Definition (WSD) in SAP, particularly during the configuration or generation of Web Service filters or criteria. The system expects you to specify a screen number (also known as a selection screen number) for the Primary Criteria but it has not been provided.
  In other words, when defining the primary criteria for filtering or selection in a Web Service, the screen number that identifies the selection screen or input screen for that criteria is missing or not entered.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While creating or editing Web Service filters or criteria in transaction WSD or related Web Service configuration tools.
  When defining selection criteria for Web Service operations that require a screen number to link the criteria to a particular selection screen.
  During the setup of Web Service filters in SOAMANAGER or other Web Service configuration transactions if the primary criteria is incomplete.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Screen Number:
  
  Go to the Web Service filter or criteria definition screen.
  Locate the field for Primary Criteria or Screen Number.
  Enter the appropriate screen number that corresponds to the selection screen you want to use for the primary criteria.
  
  
  
  Verify the Screen Number:
  
  The screen number should correspond to a valid selection screen in the underlying ABAP program or Web Service.
