• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_LIST020 - Structure is excluded from comparison (explicit) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZRE_LIST020 Structure is excluded from comparison (explicit)
  
  Cause
  This message occurs during a comparison process (often in the context of SAP Workflow or other SAP tools that compare structures or objects) when a particular structure is explicitly excluded from the comparison. This means that the system has been instructed not to compare this structure, either by configuration or by design.
  In SAP Workflow or related tools, certain structures or fields can be excluded from comparison to avoid irrelevant differences or to optimize performance. When such an exclusion is explicitly defined, the system issues this informational message to indicate that the structure was deliberately skipped.
  
  Explanation
  
  WZRE_LIST020 is an informational message (warning/info) rather than an error.
  It indicates that the structure was excluded explicitly from the comparison.
  This is often controlled by settings or parameters in the comparison tool or workflow configuration.
  The message helps users understand why certain differences are not reported.
  
  
  Solution / How to Handle
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the comparison settings or workflow configuration to see which structures are excluded.
  If you want the structure to be included in the comparison, remove it from the exclusion list.
  
  
  
  Understand the Impact:
  
  If the exclusion is intentional (e.g., to ignore non-critical fields), you can safely ignore this message.
  If you suspect that important data is being skipped, adjust the exclusion settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Comparison Parameters:
  
  In tools like SAP Workflow or transport comparison, you can often specify which structures or fields to include or exclude.
  Modify these parameters to include the structure if needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check SAP notes or documentation related to the specific tool or transaction you are using for comparison.
  Sometimes, exclusions are recommended for performance or relevance reasons.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  This message is informational and does not indicate an error or failure.
  Common in SAP Workflow (transaction SWU3, SWDD, or workflow comparison tools).
  Related to the internal handling of structure comparisons.
  If you are debugging or analyzing differences, be aware that some structures may be skipped intentionally.
