    Cause

    The error WTADDI302 occurs when the system tries to write data to the database table WTADDI but fails. The table WTADDI is related to the Time Management component in SAP, specifically for storing additional time data or attendance data.

    Common causes include:

    • Authorization issues: The user or process does not have sufficient authorization to write to the table.
    • Technical problems: Database connection issues, insufficient database space, or system errors.
    • Incorrect or incomplete data: The data being written does not meet the validation rules or is incomplete.
    • Custom enhancements or user exits: Custom code interfering with standard processing.
