• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY119 - Only message types with previous number assignment-Customizing mess.type ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WTY119: "Only message types with previous number assignment - Customizing mess.type":
  
  Error Message:
  WTY119 - Only message types with previous number assignment - Customizing mess.type
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to process or configure a message type in the system that requires a previous number assignment but such an assignment has not been maintained or customized.
  In SAP, certain message types (especially in the context of workflow, output determination, or number range assignments) require that a number range or previous number assignment be defined before they can be used. If the system detects that the message type you are trying to use or configure does not have this prerequisite setup, it throws the WTY119 error.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  When configuring output message types in Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM).
  When setting up number ranges for message types in customizing.
  When processing workflow messages that require number assignment.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Message Types: These are identifiers for different kinds of messages (e.g., order confirmations, delivery notes, invoices).
  Previous Number Assignment: This refers to the number range or sequence that must be assigned to the message type to ensure unique numbering of messages.
  The system checks if the message type has a number range assigned in customizing.
  If no number range or previous number assignment exists, the system cannot generate or process the message number, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Message Type Customizing:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction depending on the module:
  
  For SD output message types: SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Output Control ? Message Types.
  For MM output message types: SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Messages ? Output Control.
  For workflow or other modules, check the relevant customizing path.
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range / Previous Number Assignment:
  
  Identify the message type causing the error.
  Assign or maintain the number range interval for this message type.
  This is usually done in number range customizing transactions such as:
  
  SNRO (Number Range Objects)
  Or directly in the customizing node for message types.
  
  
  
  
  
  Verify Number Range Intervals:
  
  Ensure that the number range intervals are active and valid.
  Check that the number range object linked to the message type is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Save and Test:
  
  After maintaining the number range assignment, save the customizing.
  Retry the operation that caused the error.

  Transaction Codes:
  
  SNRO - Number Range Objects maintenance.

  Module-specific customizing transactions for message types.
  
  
  
  Related Notes / SAP Documentation:
  
  SAP Notes related to message type configuration and number range assignment.
  SAP Help Portal documentation on output message types and number range assignment.
  
  
  
  Common Pitfalls:
  
  Forgetting to assign number ranges after creating new message types.
  Using standard message types without checking if they require number ranges.
  Number range intervals that are expired or incorrectly set.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Message type requires a previous number assignment (number range) but none is maintained.
  
  
  Effect
  System throws error WTY119 and prevents processing of the message.
  
  
  Solution
  Assign/maintain the number range for the message type in customizing and activate it.
  
  
  Where to fix
  Customizing via SPRO or number range maintenance transactions like SNRO.
