  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY160 - Entry &1 &2 &3 does not exist (check entries) ?

    The SAP error message:

    WY160 Entry &1 &2 &3 does not exist (check entries)

    typically occurs in the context of SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management processes. Here's a detailed explanation:


    Cause

    • The error indicates that a specific entry or record identified by the placeholders &1, &2, &3 (which are replaced by actual values in the runtime message) does not exist in the relevant SAP table or master data.
    • This usually happens when the system tries to reference a warehouse-related master data record (such as a storage bin, material, movement type, or warehouse number) that is missing or incorrectly maintained.
    • Common scenarios include:
      • The storage bin or storage type does not exist or is incorrectly entered.
      • The material master is not extended to the warehouse number.
      • The warehouse number or movement type is invalid or not maintained.
      • Data inconsistencies between Inventory Management (IM) and Warehouse Management (WM).

    Solution

    1. Check the exact entries referenced in the error message:

      • Identify the values for &1, &2, &3 from the error message.
      • These values usually correspond to key fields like Warehouse Number, Storage Type, Storage Bin, Material Number, or Movement Type.
    2. Verify Master Data:

      • Warehouse Number: Ensure the warehouse number exists and is active.
      • Storage Type and Storage Bin: Check if the storage type and bin exist in the warehouse.
        • Use transaction LS03 to display storage bins.
      • Material Master: Confirm the material is extended to the warehouse number.
        • Use transaction MM03 and check WM views.
      • Movement Type: Verify the movement type is valid and configured for WM.
    3. Check Customizing:

      • Verify the configuration in SPRO under Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management.
      • Ensure all relevant entries are maintained correctly.
    4. Data Consistency Checks:

      • Run consistency reports or use transaction LX02 or LX03 to check stock and bin data.
      • If inconsistencies are found, consider running relevant correction programs or consult SAP Notes.
    5. Re-enter or Correct Data:

      • If the entry is missing, create or correct the master data.
      • If the entry is incorrect, correct the input data in the transaction.
    6. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to error WY160 for any known issues or patches.
