• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PYC_CONF_WB136 - Step logic must inherit from base class CL_PYC_STT_BASE. ?

  The SAP error message PYC_CONF_WB136 indicates that there is an issue with the step logic in a configuration related to the SAP Profitability and Cost Management (PCM) module. Specifically, it states that the step logic must inherit from the base class CL_PYC_STT_BASE. This error typically arises when a custom step logic class does not properly extend or implement the required base class.
  Cause:
  
  Custom Class Implementation: If you have created a custom step logic class for your profitability analysis, it may not be correctly inheriting from the base class CL_PYC_STT_BASE. This can happen if the class definition is missing the inheritance declaration.
  Incorrect Class Definition: The class might be defined incorrectly, or there may be a typo in the class name or its path.
  Transport Issues: If the class was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Class Inheritance:
  
  Go to the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80 or SE24).
  Locate your custom class and ensure that it is defined to inherit from CL_PYC_STT_BASE. The class definition should look something like this:
  CLASS your_custom_class_name DEFINITION INHERITING FROM CL_PYC_STT_BASE.
  
  
  
  
  Implement Required Methods:
  
  Ensure that all required methods from the base class are implemented in your custom class. This includes any abstract methods that need to be defined.
  
  
  
  Review Class Activation:
  
  Make sure that the class is activated. If there are any syntax errors or issues, the class may not be activated properly.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the class was transported, verify that the transport request was completed successfully and that all dependencies were included.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, you may want to debug the execution to see where the error is being triggered. This can provide more context on what might be going wrong.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for the PCM module to ensure that you are following best practices for creating custom step logic.
