Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_CANCL059 - Cannot change end date for contract line item &1; call-off exists ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_CANCL059 indicates that you are trying to change the end date of a contract line item, but there is an existing call-off (or release) against that contract line item. This means that the contract is still active due to the call-off, and therefore, the end date cannot be modified.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Call-Off: The primary reason for this error is that there are one or more call-offs (or purchase orders) that reference the contract line item you are trying to modify. The system prevents changes to the contract line item to maintain data integrity and ensure that the call-offs remain valid.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Call-Offs: 
  
  Use transaction codes like ME33K (Display Contract) to check if there are any call-offs associated with the contract line item.
  Identify the call-offs that are linked to the contract line item.
  
  
  
  Modify or Cancel Call-Offs:
  
  If the call-offs are no longer needed, you may consider canceling or deleting them. This can be done using transaction codes like ME22N (Change Purchase Order) or ME23N (Display Purchase Order).
  If the call-offs need to remain, you will not be able to change the end date of the contract line item.
  
  
  
  Adjust Contract Line Item:
  
  If you need to change the end date for future transactions, consider creating a new contract line item with the desired end date and then reference that in future call-offs.
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of modifying or canceling call-offs, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, finance) to ensure that the changes align with business processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME33K (Display Contract), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), and ME23N (Display Purchase Order).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or specific guidance related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or user manuals related to contract management and call-offs for a better understanding of how these components interact.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and make the necessary adjustments to your contract line items in SAP.
