  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI016 - You have already processed all of the selected items from this document ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WSTI016 – "You have already processed all of the selected items from this document."


    Cause:

    This message occurs when you attempt to process items from a document (such as a delivery, invoice, or order) that have already been fully processed in a previous run. Essentially, there are no remaining items left to process because all have been handled already.

    For example, in scenarios like:

    • Creating a billing document from a delivery where all items have already been billed.
    • Posting goods movements or invoice receipts where all items have been processed.
    • Running a batch job or transaction that processes document items, but the system finds no unprocessed items left.

    Explanation:

    • The system checks the status of each item in the document.
    • If all items are flagged as processed (e.g., fully billed, fully delivered, or fully posted), the system prevents duplicate processing.
    • This message is a safeguard to avoid double processing or duplication.

    Solution:

    1. Verify Document Status:

      • Check the document (e.g., delivery, sales order, invoice) to confirm that all items have indeed been processed.
      • Use transaction codes like VL03N (Display Delivery), VF03 (Display Billing Document), or VA03 (Display Sales Order) to review item statuses.
    2. Check Item Quantities:

      • Confirm that the quantities processed match the ordered or delivered quantities.
      • If partial processing was intended, verify if any items or quantities remain unprocessed.
    3. Adjust Selection Criteria:

      • When running the transaction or batch job, adjust the selection to include only unprocessed items.
      • Avoid selecting documents/items that are already fully processed.
    4. If Reprocessing is Required:

      • If you need to reprocess items (e.g., due to error correction), you may need to reverse or cancel the previous processing first.
      • Use appropriate reversal transactions (e.g., VF11 for billing document cancellation).
    5. Check for Custom Enhancements or User Exits:

      • Sometimes custom code or user exits may incorrectly flag items as processed.
      • Review any custom logic if the message appears unexpectedly.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • VL01N / VL02N / VL03N – Delivery processing
      • VF01 / VF02 / VF03 – Billing document processing
      • VA01 / VA02 / VA03 – Sales order processing
    • SAP Notes:

      • Check SAP Notes related to WSTI016 for any known issues or patches.
      • Example: SAP Note 123456 (hypothetical) might discuss this message in detail.
    • Common Scenarios:

      • Billing due list processing where all items are already billed.
      • Goods receipt or invoice receipt posting where all items are posted.
      • Batch jobs that process documents in bulk.

    Summary:

    WSTI016 indicates that the system found no unprocessed items in the selected document because all have already been processed. To resolve, verify the document status, adjust your selection criteria, and if necessary, reverse previous processing before attempting again.
