  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ730 - Enter the object type first ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WZ730 - Enter the object type first


    Cause:

    This error message typically occurs in SAP when you are trying to perform an operation that requires specifying an object type before proceeding, but the system detects that the object type field is empty or not entered. The object type is a key piece of information that defines the category or type of the object you want to work with (e.g., material, equipment, functional location, etc.).

    For example, in transactions related to equipment management, asset accounting, or other master data maintenance, the system expects the user to specify the object type to correctly identify and process the data.


    Solution:

    • Enter the Object Type:
      Before proceeding, make sure to enter the required object type in the designated field. This is usually a dropdown or input field where you select or input the object type code.

    • Check Field Dependencies:
      Sometimes, the object type field might be dependent on other fields or selections. Ensure that any prerequisite fields are filled correctly.

    • Verify Customizing Settings:
      If the object type field is not visible or not accepting input, check the configuration in the IMG (Implementation Guide) to ensure that the object types are properly defined and assigned.

    • Use F4 Help:
      Use the F4 help (value help) on the object type field to select a valid object type from the list.

    • Check User Exits or Enhancements:
      If this error appears unexpectedly, it might be due to custom code or user exits that enforce the entry of object type. Review any custom developments that might affect this behavior.


    Related Information:
