    SAP Error Message:

    WSTI_CALC045: List formatting was not possible for document &1


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM), specifically when working with financial documents such as securities, money market transactions, or other financial instruments.

    The message indicates that the system was unable to format the output list (e.g., a report, printout, or display list) for the specified document number (&1). The root causes can include:

    • Missing or incorrect formatting templates: The system relies on predefined list formatting templates (e.g., SAPscript, Smart Forms, or Adobe Forms). If these templates are missing, corrupted, or not assigned properly, formatting fails.
    • Inconsistent or incomplete document data: If the document data is incomplete or inconsistent, the formatting program cannot generate the list.
    • Authorization or system errors: Insufficient user authorizations or system issues (e.g., missing print programs or incorrect configuration) can prevent list formatting.
    • Transport or upgrade issues: Sometimes, after system upgrades or transports, formatting objects or programs may not be properly imported or activated.

    Solution:

    To resolve the error, consider the following steps:

    1. Check the Document Number:
      Verify that the document number (&1) exists and is valid in the system.

    2. Verify Formatting Templates:

      • Check if the list formatting templates (SAPscript forms, Smart Forms, or Adobe Forms) related to the document type are correctly maintained and active.
      • Use transaction codes like SMARTFORMS, SE71 (SAPscript), or SFP (Adobe Forms) to check the forms.
      • Ensure the correct form is assigned in the customizing for the document type.
    3. Check Print Program and Driver Program:

      • Verify that the print program and driver program assigned to the document type are correct and active.
      • Use transaction SPRO to check customizing under Treasury and Risk Management ? Money Market ? Output Control or Securities ? Output Control.
    4. Check Authorization:

      • Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the print or display function.
    5. Check for Incomplete Document Data:

      • Review the document data for completeness and consistency.
      • Use transaction codes like FTR_EDIT or FTR_DISPLAY to inspect the document.
    6. Check System Logs and Dumps:

      • Look for short dumps (ST22) or system logs (SM21) that might provide more details.
    7. Re-import or Reactivate Forms:

      • If the issue appeared after a transport or upgrade, re-import or reactivate the forms and print programs.
    8. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search for relevant SAP Notes using the message number or keywords.
      • If unresolved, raise a support ticket with SAP, providing the document number and system details.
