• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMM_ALLOC036 - For cond. &1 term &2 manual alloc. exists; reducing below &3 &4 forbidden ?

  The SAP error message CMM_ALLOC036 typically occurs in the context of manual allocation in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with condition records in the pricing or allocation processes. This error indicates that there is a conflict with existing manual allocations that prevent the system from reducing a certain value below a specified threshold.
  Cause:
  The error message "CMM_ALLOC036 For cond. &1 term &2 manual alloc. exists; reducing below &3 &4 forbidden" can be caused by the following factors:
  
  
  Existing Manual Allocations: There are manual allocations already defined for the specified condition type (indicated by &1) and term (indicated by &2). The system is trying to reduce the allocation amount below a certain limit (indicated by &3 and &4), which is not allowed due to the existing manual allocations.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict the reduction of allocations below certain thresholds when manual allocations are present.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies or issues with the data in the allocation records that are causing the system to trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CMM_ALLOC036 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Manual Allocations: Check the existing manual allocations for the specified condition type and term. You may need to adjust or remove these allocations if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  Adjust Allocation Amounts: If the manual allocations are necessary, consider adjusting the allocation amounts to ensure that the system can process the reduction without violating the constraints.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to manual allocations and condition types. Ensure that the settings align with your business requirements and allow for the necessary flexibility in allocations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific condition type and allocation processes involved.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific configuration and data in your system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like CMM1 (for manual allocation) or CMM2 (for displaying allocations) to investigate the allocations further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling manual allocations.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your SAP system, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect allocation processing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the CMM_ALLOC036 error and implement an appropriate solution.
