• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CC072 - No effectivity exists ?

  The SAP error message CC072 "No effectivity exists" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) or Variant Configuration (VC) modules. This error indicates that the system cannot find a valid effectivity period for a specific configuration or material. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Effectivity Data: The material or configuration you are trying to use does not have any defined effectivity periods. Effectivity periods are used to determine when a particular configuration or variant is valid.
  
  
  Incorrect Date Range: The effectivity dates may not cover the date on which you are trying to use the configuration. For example, if the effectivity period is set from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and you are trying to use it on January 1, 2024, you will encounter this error.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the material may not be properly set up, leading to the absence of valid effectivity data.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data setup, such as missing or incorrect entries in the material master or configuration profiles.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Effectivity Data: 
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the effectivity data for the relevant material. Ensure that there are valid effectivity periods defined.
  If you are using variant configuration, check the configuration profile (transaction code CU50) to ensure that the effectivity dates are correctly set.
  
  
  
  Update Effectivity Dates: 
  
  If the effectivity dates are incorrect or missing, update them to include the required date range. This can be done in the material master or configuration profile.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: 
  
  Ensure that the configuration settings for the material are correctly defined. This includes checking the dependencies and characteristics that may affect the effectivity.
  
  
  
  Check for Master Data Issues: 
  
  Review the master data for any inconsistencies or missing information. Ensure that all necessary data is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on effectivity management in your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 (Display Material), CU50 (Configuration Profile), and CS03 (Display BOM) to check the relevant data.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to effectivity management that may apply to your version of SAP.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and edit the effectivity data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the CC072 error and implement the necessary solutions to resolve it.
