• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K8702 - Condition type & has not been defined > no saving possible ?

  The SAP error message K8702 indicates that a specific condition type has not been defined in the system, which prevents the saving of certain transactions or data related to cost planning or pricing. This error typically arises in the context of controlling (CO) or sales and distribution (SD) modules where condition types are used to determine costs, prices, or discounts.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The condition type referenced in the error message has not been configured in the system. This could be due to a missing entry in the relevant customizing settings.
  Incorrect Condition Type: The condition type may have been incorrectly specified in the transaction or may not exist in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included or may have failed during the transport process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) and navigate to the relevant area for condition types (e.g., for pricing or cost planning).
  Ensure that the condition type mentioned in the error message is defined and properly configured.
  For pricing, you can check under Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control.
  For controlling, check under Controlling > Cost Element Accounting > Master Data > Cost Elements > Define Cost Elements.
  
  
  
  Define the Condition Type:
  
  If the condition type is missing, you will need to create it. This involves defining the condition type, assigning it to the appropriate pricing procedure or cost planning structure, and setting the necessary parameters.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, verify that the transport request included all necessary objects and that there were no errors during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for defining condition types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
