• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ087 - Job &1 &2 recipients for spool list do not exist ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZ087 Job &1 &2 recipients for spool list do not exist
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs when a spool list (print output) is being sent to recipients (users or distribution lists) who do not exist in the SAP system. Specifically:
  
  &1 = Job name  
  &2 = Recipient name (user or distribution list)
  
  The system tries to send the spool output to the specified recipient(s), but it cannot find the recipient(s) in the user master records or distribution list. This could happen if:
  
  The user ID or distribution list name is misspelled or incorrect.
  The user has been deleted or locked in the system.
  The distribution list does not exist or is not maintained.
  The spool recipient was manually entered incorrectly.
  The spool recipient is from an external system or outdated configuration.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When scheduling background jobs that generate spool output and specify recipients for the spool list.
  When sending spool lists via email or SAPoffice to users or distribution lists.
  When using transaction SP01 or related spool management transactions to distribute spool output.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Recipient Names:
  
  Verify the recipient names specified in the job or spool output.
  Use transaction SU01 to check if the user exists and is active.
  Use transaction SPO3 or SOST to check distribution lists or email addresses.
  
  
  
  Correct the Recipient:
  
  If the recipient does not exist, either create the user or correct the recipient name in the job or spool parameters.
  If the recipient is a distribution list, ensure it is maintained properly in the system.
  
  
  
  Update Job or Spool Parameters:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring), find the job, and check the spool recipient settings.
  Change the spool recipient to a valid user or distribution list.
  
  
  
  Check Spool Recipient Configuration:
  
  If the spool output is sent via email, check the configuration in SCOT (SAPconnect Administration).
  Ensure that the email addresses or external recipients are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  User Lock or Deletion:
  
  If the user exists but is locked or deleted, unlock or recreate the user as needed.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If spool recipients are determined dynamically via custom code, verify the logic to ensure valid recipients are passed.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This is a warning message (WZ087), so the job or spool output may still be processed, but the distribution to the invalid recipients will fail.
  To avoid this warning, always maintain valid recipients.
  You can check spool recipient lists in transaction SP01 by selecting the spool request and viewing the recipient list.
  For mass corrections, consider using user mass maintenance transactions or scripts to update recipient lists.
