  Error Message
  WY029: Entry & & in table & does not exist
  
  The placeholders (&) are replaced at runtime with specific values, such as the key fields and the table name.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a program or transaction tries to read or access a specific entry (record) in a database table, but the entry with the specified key does not exist in that table.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to read a record by key that has not been created or has been deleted.
  Data inconsistency or missing master data.
  Incorrect or incomplete input data leading to a lookup for a non-existent record.
  Custom code or enhancements that assume the existence of certain entries without proper checks.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Key Values:
  
  Identify the key values shown in the error message.
  Verify if the entry with these key values exists in the specified table using transaction SE16/SE16N or SE11.
  
  
  
  Create or Correct the Missing Entry:
  
  If the entry is missing and should exist, create it manually or via the appropriate transaction.
  If the entry should not exist, check why the program is trying to access it.
  
  
  
  Review the Process Flow:
  
  Understand why the program is trying to access this entry.
  Check preceding steps or data inputs that lead to this lookup.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If the error occurs in custom developments, add proper existence checks before reading the table.
  Use SELECT SINGLE ... INTO ... WHERE ... and check sy-subrc to handle missing entries gracefully.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks:
  
  Run relevant data consistency reports or tools to identify missing or inconsistent data.
  For master data, use standard SAP transactions to validate and repair data.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to the specific table or process for known issues or patches.
