• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXPB005 - Listing has been created as a job ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXPB005 - Listing has been created as a job
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message is an informational message (warning/info) rather than an error. It indicates that the output listing (report output) you requested is too large or complex to be processed interactively and therefore has been scheduled to run as a background job.
  In other words, when you execute a report or listing in SAP, if the system detects that the output might be too big or the processing time too long for an online session, it automatically creates a background job to generate the listing. This prevents timeouts or performance issues in the interactive session.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When running reports or listings that produce large output.
  When the system settings or report logic decide that background processing is more appropriate.
  Sometimes triggered by user or system settings that enforce background processing for certain reports.
  
  
  Solution / What to do:
  
  
  Check the background job:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) and look for the job that was created. You can monitor its status, start time, and output.
  
  
  Wait for job completion:
  
  Once the job finishes, you can view the output via the spool or directly from the job log.
  
  
  Adjust report parameters:
  
  If you want to avoid background processing, try to reduce the output size by narrowing selection criteria or limiting the data range.
  
  
  Check user/system settings:
  
  Sometimes, the system or user profile settings enforce background processing for large reports. Consult your Basis or SAP admin if you want to change this behavior.
  
  
  Run the report directly as a background job:
  
  If you expect large output, you can schedule the report as a background job yourself to avoid the message.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction SM37: Monitor background jobs.
  Transaction SP01: View spool requests (output of background jobs).
  Report execution: Some reports have a checkbox or option to run in background mode.
  SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP Notes provide specific guidance for certain reports or modules if this message appears unexpectedly.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WXPB005 is an informational message telling you the listing/report output is being processed as a background job.
  No error has occurred; it is a system mechanism to handle large outputs efficiently.
  Check the background job and spool to access the output.
  Adjust report parameters or run as background job proactively if needed.
