  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ732 - Enter the object type ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WZ732 - Enter the object type


    Cause:

    This message appears when a required field for Object Type is left empty during a transaction or data entry in SAP. The system expects the user to specify the object type to proceed, but it was not provided.

    The Object Type typically refers to the category or classification of an object in SAP, such as equipment, functional location, material, or other business objects depending on the module and context.


    When does it occur?

    • During creation or change of objects in Plant Maintenance (PM), Asset Accounting (FI-AA), or other modules where object types are mandatory.
    • When a program or transaction expects the object type to be entered but the user skips or deletes it.
    • In custom developments or user exits where object type is a required input parameter.

    Solution:

    1. Enter the Object Type:
      Simply provide the required object type in the input field. For example, in PM, enter EQUI for equipment or IFLO for functional location.

    2. Check Field Status:
      If the field is not visible or editable, check the field status group or screen variant to ensure the object type field is available and mandatory.

    3. Verify Custom Code or User Exits:
      If this error appears in a custom program or enhancement, ensure that the object type is correctly passed and handled.

    4. Consult Documentation:
      Refer to the SAP module documentation or configuration guides to identify valid object types for the transaction.
