• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_CALC050 - You cannot display the material document for this POS transaction ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTI_CALC050 – "You cannot display the material document for this POS transaction."
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to display a material document related to a Point of Sale (POS) transaction, but the system does not allow it because the material document is either not created, not available, or the transaction type does not support displaying the material document in the usual way.
  In SAP Retail (IS-Retail), POS transactions are often processed differently compared to standard inventory movements. Some POS transactions may not generate a material document immediately or at all, depending on the configuration and the type of transaction.
  Common causes include:
  
  The POS transaction is of a type that does not create a material document.
  The material document number is not linked or not yet created for the POS transaction.
  The user is trying to display a material document for a transaction that is only recorded in the POS system but not yet posted in SAP ERP.
  Authorization or configuration issues preventing access to the material document.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transaction Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the POS transaction type in customizing (SPRO) under Retail POS ? POS Transactions ? Define Transaction Types.
  Confirm whether the transaction type is configured to create material documents.
  If the transaction type is not supposed to create material documents, then the error is expected behavior.
  
  
  
  Verify Posting Status:
  
  Check if the POS transaction has been posted to the backend system.
  Use transaction codes like WSTI (POS transaction display) or MB51 (Material Document List) to verify if the material document exists.
  
  
  
  Check Material Document Number:
  
  Ensure that the material document number you are trying to display is correct and exists.
  If the document number is missing or incorrect, the system cannot display it.
  
  
  
  Review POS Integration and Posting Jobs:
  
  Sometimes, POS transactions are collected and posted in batch jobs.
  Check if the batch job that posts POS transactions to material documents has run successfully.
  If not, run or schedule the posting job (e.g., RFPOSPOST).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to display material documents.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Display Transaction:
  
  For POS transactions, use the POS transaction display tools (e.g., WSTI) rather than standard material document display transactions like MB03.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  WSTI – Display POS transactions.
  MB03 – Display material document.
  MB51 – Material document list.
  RFPOSPOST – POS posting job.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to POS transaction posting and material document creation for your SAP Retail version.
  
  
  
  SAP Help Portal:
  
  Refer to SAP Retail documentation on POS transaction processing and integration with inventory management.
  
  
  
  Configuration Path:
  
  SPRO ? Retail ? POS ? POS Transactions ? Define Transaction Types.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WSTI_CALC050 indicates that the system cannot display a material document for the given POS transaction because such a document either does not exist or is not created for that transaction type. Verify the transaction type configuration, posting status, and use the correct display tools to view POS transactions. If necessary, run the posting jobs to generate material documents from POS data.
