The SAP error message
/ACCGO/DFW_WRKC167 No reason was entered
typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when a user attempts to perform a certain action (often related to financial transactions or document processing) without providing a required reason or justification for that action. This is particularly common in modules related to accounting or financial workflows.Cause:
- Missing Input: The most straightforward cause is that the user did not enter a required field, specifically the "reason" field, which is mandatory for the transaction or process being executed.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that require a reason to be entered for specific transactions, and these settings may not be properly aligned with user expectations or training.
- User Role Permissions: Sometimes, the user role may not have the necessary permissions to bypass certain fields, leading to this error.
Solution:
- Enter the Required Reason: The immediate solution is to check the transaction screen for a field labeled "reason" or similar and ensure that it is filled out before attempting to save or process the transaction again.
- Review Configuration: If you are an administrator or have access to configuration settings, review the settings related to the transaction to ensure that the requirement for a reason is appropriate and that users are aware of it.
- User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the importance of entering all required fields, including reasons, when processing transactions in SAP.
- Check User Permissions: If the issue persists, check the user roles and permissions to ensure that they have the necessary access to complete the transaction without encountering this error.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
