  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI422 - Additional not active: see long text ?

    The SAP error message WTADDI422 - Additional not active: see long text typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) processes, especially when dealing with transfer postings, goods movements, or warehouse tasks.


    Cause

    The error WTADDI422 indicates that an additional indicator (often a special stock indicator, movement type, or warehouse process type) required for the transaction is not active or not maintained in the system. This means that the system expects a certain additional setting or configuration to be active for the process to proceed, but it is currently inactive or missing.

    Common scenarios include:

    • The additional indicator (e.g., special stock indicator, batch management indicator, or warehouse process type) is not activated in the customizing.
    • The movement type or warehouse process type used requires an additional indicator that is not maintained.
    • The system configuration for the warehouse or inventory process is incomplete or inconsistent.
    • The warehouse task or transfer order references an additional indicator that is not valid or active.

    Solution

    To resolve the WTADDI422 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check the Long Text of the Error Message:

      • The long text usually provides more detailed information about which additional indicator is not active.
      • In SAP GUI, place the cursor on the error message and press F1, then click on "Long Text" to get more details.
    2. Identify the Additional Indicator:

      • Determine which additional indicator (e.g., special stock indicator, movement type, warehouse process type) is causing the issue.
      • This can be found in the long text or by analyzing the transaction data (e.g., material document, transfer order).
    3. Verify Customizing Settings:

      • Go to the relevant IMG path depending on the indicator:
        • For special stock indicators: Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Inventory Management -> Define Special Stock Indicators
        • For movement types: Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Movement Types -> Copy, Change Movement Types
        • For warehouse process types: Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Activities -> Define Warehouse Process Types
      • Check if the additional indicator is active and properly maintained.
    4. Activate or Maintain the Additional Indicator:

      • If the indicator is inactive or missing, activate or create it as required.
      • Ensure that all dependencies and related settings are consistent.
    5. Check Master Data and Transaction Data:

      • Verify that the material master, batch master, or warehouse master data is consistent with the additional indicator.
      • Check if the transaction uses the correct movement type or warehouse process type.
    6. Test the Transaction Again:

      • After making the necessary configuration changes, retry the transaction to confirm the error is resolved.
