What version SAP or NW or you running? I found no SAP Note... If you're sure there's no enhancement stepping on your data value, you could consider opening a message to SAP.

Hello you - looking at a post from 10 years ago ...

If you're still doing IBIP trhough LSMW like I am,

Make sure that you DO NOT maintain the TCODE field when creating the item. This is what was generating the "Formatting error in the field RMIPM-WPTXT; see next message" for me.

There was never anything wrong with what I had in the WPTXT field .

  • When you're using structure IBIPMPLA, you have to make sure that you create an item along with the maintenance plan.
  • If you maintain the transaction on the maintenance item (structure IBIPMPOS), then you will create the item outside the maintenance plan. For example, I was maintaint transaction IP04.
  • Because the plan was created without an item, I got the "Formatting error message"
