• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_SERVICES032 - Document &1 is the template ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZRE_SERVICES032 Document &1 is the template
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in SAP when you attempt to perform an operation on a document that is defined as a template rather than a regular transactional document. In SAP, templates are used as predefined models or blueprints for creating new documents. They are not meant to be processed or posted directly.
  For example, if you try to post, change, or process a document that is marked as a template, the system will prevent this action and show the message WZRE_SERVICES032 Document &1 is the template.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The document number &1 (placeholder for the actual document number) is flagged as a template.
  Templates are used to speed up document creation by providing a predefined structure.
  Operations like posting, changing, or processing are only allowed on actual transactional documents, not on templates.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type:
  
  Verify if the document you are working with is indeed a template.
  You can check this in the document header or via the relevant transaction (e.g., in FI documents, check the document type or status).
  
  
  
  Create a New Document from the Template:
  
  Instead of processing the template document directly, use it to create a new transactional document.
  Use the "Create from Template" function or copy the template to a new document number.
  Then process the newly created document.
  
  
  
  Avoid Processing Template Documents:
  
  Ensure that your process or program logic excludes template documents from posting or processing steps.
  
  
  
  If Template Status is Incorrect:
  
  If the document should not be a template, check if the template flag was set by mistake.
  You may need to correct the document status or recreate the document properly.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
