• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT226 - Enter a number of recipients ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WT226 - Enter a number of recipients
  
  Cause:
  The error message WT226 occurs when you are trying to send a payment advice or payment medium, and the system expects you to specify the number of recipients (i.e., the number of payment recipients or vendors/customers to whom the payment advice or payment medium is being sent). If this number is missing or zero, the system raises this error.
  This typically happens in the context of payment runs or when generating payment advices where the system needs to know how many recipients will receive the payment information.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During payment run processing (transaction F110).
  When generating payment advices or payment media.
  When the system cannot determine or has not been provided the number of recipients for the payment advice.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Payment Run Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the payment run parameters are correctly set.
  Verify that the selection criteria include valid vendors/customers with payment data.
  
  
  
  Verify the Number of Recipients:
  
  Make sure that the payment run actually includes payment items for recipients.
  If no payment items are selected, the system cannot generate payment advice, hence the error.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  In some cases, the configuration of payment advice or payment medium formats might require specifying the number of recipients explicitly.
  Review the payment medium format or payment advice form configuration in SPRO under:
  Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Medium -> Payment Medium Formats
  
  
  
  Re-run the Payment Run:
  
  After correcting the selection criteria or configuration, re-run the payment run.
  Ensure that the system picks up the correct number of recipients.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address this error for particular versions or scenarios.
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WT226.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  WT226 is a message from the payment medium or payment advice processing program.
  It is important that the payment run includes valid payment documents.
  If you are customizing or developing your own payment medium format, ensure that the logic to count recipients is correctly implemented.
