    SAP Error Message: WX501 - "Please enter values in full"
    
    
    Cause: The error message WX501 typically occurs in SAP when a user enters partial or incomplete values in a field that requires a full or complete entry. This often happens in selection screens, input fields, or search helps where the system expects the entire value (e.g., a full material number, customer number, or other key fields) rather than a partial or abbreviated input. For example: Entering only part of a material number when the system expects the full material number. Providing an incomplete customer or vendor code. Using wildcards or partial strings in fields that do not support them.
    Solution: Enter Complete Values: Ensure that you enter the full and exact value required by the field. Check the expected format and length of the input. Check Field Help (F4): Use the F4 help (search help) to find the correct full value if you are unsure about the exact entry. Avoid Partial Entries
