• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY15102 - Enter an object type before the object number search ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTY15102 – Enter an object type before the object number search
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a search or enter an object number in a transaction or screen that requires specifying the object type first, but the object type field is left empty. The system needs the object type to understand the context and correctly process or validate the object number you want to search or enter.
  For example, in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) or other modules where you deal with equipment, functional locations, or other objects, the system requires you to specify the object type (like Equipment, Functional Location, etc.) before entering the object number.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter the Object Type first: Before entering or searching for the object number, make sure to fill in the object type field. This could be a dropdown or input field where you specify the type of object you want to work with.
  Check the screen or transaction logic: If the object type field is missing or not enabled, verify if the screen or transaction is correctly configured or if any user-exit or enhancement is interfering.
  Use the correct search help: When searching for an object number, use the search help (F4) after entering the object type to get valid entries.
  Consult documentation or SAP notes: If the error persists despite entering the object type, check for any SAP Notes related to the transaction or module you are working with.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in modules like Plant Maintenance (PM), Customer Service (CS), or any module where objects are categorized by types.
  Object types are essential for SAP to differentiate between various master data objects.
  Example object types:
  
  EQU – Equipment
  FUN – Functional Location
  MATERIAL – Material Number (in some contexts)
  
  
  Always ensure that the object type field is populated before entering or searching for the object number.
  If you are customizing or developing, ensure that the screen logic enforces this sequence.
