• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX005 - No transaction-dependent field selection could be read ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message WX005: "No transaction-dependent field selection could be read" including its cause, solution, and related information.
  
  SAP Error Message WX005:
  "No transaction-dependent field selection could be read"
  
  1. Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to read the transaction-dependent field selection settings for a particular transaction but fails to find any relevant entries in the customizing tables.
  In SAP, field selection controls which fields are displayed, required, optional, or suppressed in a transaction. These settings can be general or transaction-dependent (specific to a transaction code).
  The message WX005 typically appears when:
  
  The transaction-dependent field selection for the transaction code being executed is missing or not maintained.
  The system is trying to determine field selection for a transaction, but no customizing entries exist for that transaction.
  The customizing tables related to field selection (e.g., T185, T185T, or other related tables) do not contain entries for the transaction.
  There might be a mismatch or missing configuration in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under the field selection settings.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the WX005 error, you need to ensure that the transaction-dependent field selection is properly maintained for the transaction in question.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Check the transaction code for which the error occurs.
  
  
  Maintain transaction-dependent field selection:
  
  Go to the SAP IMG path:
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics General -> Material Master -> Field Selection -> Define Field Selection for Transaction-Dependent Field Selection
  
  Or directly use transaction OMS2 (depending on module and SAP version).
  
  
  
  Verify or create entries for the transaction code in the field selection customizing tables:
  
  Ensure that the transaction code is assigned to a field selection group.
  Maintain the field selection groups and their field status for the transaction.
  
  
  
  Check related customizing tables:
  
  Table T185: Field selection groups.
  Table T185T: Texts for field selection groups.
  Table T185U: Transaction-dependent field selection.
  
  
  
  If the transaction is custom or Z-transaction:
  
  Make sure that the custom transaction code is assigned properly in the field selection customizing.
  Copy settings from a standard transaction if applicable.
  
  
  
  Transport the customizing changes if working in a development system and move to quality/production.
  
  
  Test the transaction again after maintaining the field selection.
