• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY110 - Specify name of contact person ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WY110 - Specify name of contact person
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to save or proceed with a business transaction (such as creating or changing a business partner, vendor, customer, or sales document) in SAP, and the system requires the name of a contact person but it has not been provided. The contact person field is mandatory in the context where the error appears.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  While maintaining business partner master data (e.g., in SAP CRM or SAP S/4HANA Business Partner).
  During sales order processing or customer/vendor master data maintenance.
  When the configuration or business process requires a contact person for communication or documentation purposes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Contact Person Name:
  
  Go to the relevant screen or tab where contact person details are maintained.
  Enter the full name or required details of the contact person.
  Save the data again.
  
  
  
  Check Mandatory Fields:
  
  Ensure that all mandatory fields related to the contact person are filled.
  Sometimes, the system might require additional details like phone number, email, or role.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration (if applicable):
  
  If you believe the contact person should not be mandatory, check the customizing settings.
  In SAP CRM or Business Partner configuration, the requirement for contact person can be controlled via transaction codes like BP or IMG settings.
  Consult with your SAP functional consultant to adjust the mandatory field settings if business requirements allow.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes, custom validations or user exits enforce the presence of a contact person.
  Review any custom code that might be triggering this error.
