Processing Errors and Warnings

Use

This procedure explains how to react to errors and warnings issued by the SAP System.

Procedure

Warnings

  1. If the system has issued a warning, you must decide whether or not a correction is necessary.

  2. You can then correct the data if required.

  3. If you do not want to change the data, choose to ignore the warning and continue processing.

Error Messages

If the system has issued an error message, you must correct the error before you can continue with your work.

  1. Find the record that contains errors.

  2. Note that the record containing errors may not lie in the current data entry period. In this case, change the data entry period.

  3. Correct the data containing errors.

  4. a) Entry XXXXXX does not exist

    Check and correct your entries.

    b) Target hours have been exceeded

    Change the number of hours entered accordingly. If a warning is issued, you can enter a long text for the relevant record explaining, for example, the reason for the situation.

  5. If you are unable to correct the data that has caused the error, you must delete the record before you can continue. Some errors may require your system administrator to change the system settings.

  6. Check the data

  7. Continue processing.
