• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX505 - Please issue area points ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WX505 - Please issue area points
  
  Cause:
  The error message WX505 typically occurs in SAP when you are working with Production Orders or Process Orders in the Production Planning (PP) or Plant Maintenance (PM) modules, specifically during the confirmation or goods movement processes.
  "Please issue area points" means that the system expects you to specify or confirm the issue points (also called component issue points or goods issue points) for components that are to be issued to the production order or process order. Issue points define the location or storage location from which components are withdrawn for production.
  This error usually arises because:
  
  The system requires you to confirm the issue points for components before posting goods issue.
  The issue points are not maintained or missing in the order or routing.
  The configuration for issue points is incomplete or inconsistent.
  The user has not entered or selected the issue points during the goods issue or confirmation process.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WX505 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Issue Points in the Order:
  
  Go to the production/process order and check the component assignment.
  Verify if the issue points are maintained for the components.
  You can check this in the order component overview or in the routing/recipe where issue points are defined.
  
  
  
  Maintain Issue Points:
  
  If issue points are missing, maintain them in the routing or recipe.
  Use transaction codes like CA02 (Change Routing) or CO02 (Change Production Order) to maintain issue points.
  Issue points are usually maintained at the operation level in the routing under the component assignment.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration in SPRO under:
  Production -> Basic Data -> Work Center -> Define Issue Points
  Ensure that issue points are properly defined and assigned to the relevant work centers.
  
  
  
  During Goods Issue or Confirmation:
  
  When posting goods issue (e.g., via MB1A, COGI, or confirmation transactions like CO11N), ensure you specify the correct issue points.
  The system may prompt you to select or confirm the issue points if multiple are available.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Train users to always specify or confirm issue points during goods issue or confirmation if the system requires it.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Issue Points:
  
  Issue points are specific locations or storage locations from which components are withdrawn for production. They help in tracking and controlling inventory movements more precisely.
  
  
  Transactions to Check:
  
  CO02 - Change Production Order (check components and issue points)
  CA02 - Change Routing (maintain issue points)
  MB1A or MIGO - Goods Issue Posting
  CO11N - Confirm Production Order
  
  
  
  Configuration Path:
  
  SPRO ? Production ? Basic Data ? Work Center ? Define Issue Points
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to issue points and goods issue errors.
  Refer to SAP Help Portal for Production Order and Issue Point concepts.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Missing or unconfirmed issue points for components in production/process orders.
  Solution: Maintain and confirm issue points in routing, work centers, and during goods issue or confirmation.
  Check: Order components, routing, configuration, and user input during goods movement.
  
  If the problem persists after these checks, consider debugging or checking for custom enhancements that might affect issue point handling.
