• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY811 - Error: conversion of temporary object no. to concrete object no. equi. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTY811 - Error: conversion of temporary object no. to concrete object no. equi.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or Equipment Management when the system tries to convert a temporary equipment number (a placeholder number assigned during equipment creation or change) into a concrete (permanent) equipment number, but the conversion fails.
  Typical reasons include:
  
  The temporary equipment number does not have a corresponding concrete equipment number assigned yet.
  The equipment master record is incomplete or inconsistent.
  The system is trying to reference an equipment number that has not been fully created or saved.
  Customizing or user-exits that handle equipment number assignment are not working correctly.
  Data inconsistencies or missing entries in equipment master tables (e.g., EQUI).
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP PM, when creating equipment, a temporary number is often assigned first. Later, this temporary number is converted to a permanent equipment number. The error WTY811 indicates that this conversion process failed or the system could not find the permanent number corresponding to the temporary one.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Equipment Master Data:
  
  Verify if the temporary equipment number exists in the system.
  Check if the equipment master record has been fully created and saved.
  Use transaction IE03 (Display Equipment) to check the equipment number.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range and Number Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the number range for equipment numbers is correctly configured.
  Check if the number assignment for equipment is set to external or internal and is consistent with the process.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Complete Equipment Master:
  
  If the equipment master is incomplete, try to complete the data and save again.
  If the temporary number is stuck, try to delete and recreate the equipment if possible.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and User-Exits:
  
  Review any custom code or user-exits related to equipment number assignment.
  Ensure that no custom logic is preventing the conversion.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on equipment master tables (e.g., EQUI).
  Use transaction SE14 or database tools to check and repair inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WTY811 for any known bugs or patches.

  Summary:
  The WTY811 error indicates a failure in converting a temporary equipment number to a permanent one, usually due to incomplete equipment master data or configuration issues. Verify equipment master data, number range settings, and custom logic to resolve the issue. If needed, consult SAP Notes or support for further assistance.
