• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTGP_APP027 - No effectivity type is customized for material type &1 ?

  The SAP error message RTGP_APP027 indicates that there is no effectivity type customized for the specified material type in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Variant Configuration (VC) or when dealing with configurable materials.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system attempts to process a material of a specific type that requires an effectivity type, but none has been defined in the configuration settings for that material type. Effectivity types are used to determine the validity of a configuration or variant based on certain criteria, such as time periods or other conditions.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to customize the effectivity type for the specified material type. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics - General -> Variant Configuration -> Define Effectivity Types.
  
  
  
  Define Effectivity Type:
  
  In the configuration settings, check if an effectivity type is already defined for the material type in question.
  If not, create a new effectivity type by specifying the necessary parameters and assigning it to the relevant material type.
  
  
  
  Assign Effectivity Type to Material Type:
  
  Ensure that the newly created effectivity type is assigned to the material type that is causing the error. This can usually be done in the same configuration area.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  After customizing the effectivity type, check the material master data for the material in question to ensure that it is correctly set up to use the new effectivity type.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Once the effectivity type is defined and assigned, test the configuration by attempting to process the material again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Effectivity Types: These are used in variant configuration to manage the validity of configurations based on various criteria. They can be based on time, status, or other conditions.
