• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING018 - Access sequence &1 is inconsistent because no access exists ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING018 Access sequence &1 is inconsistent because no access exists typically indicates that there is an issue with the access sequence configuration in the SAP system. This error occurs when the system is trying to use an access sequence that has not been properly defined or does not have any valid access entries.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Access Entries: The access sequence specified does not have any access entries defined. This means that there are no conditions or criteria set up for the access sequence to evaluate.
  Incorrect Configuration: The access sequence may have been incorrectly configured or deleted, leading to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If the access sequence was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing entries.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications, they may have inadvertently affected the access sequence.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Access Sequence Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/07 (for pricing) or V/08 (for condition types) to check the access sequence configuration.
  Ensure that the access sequence has valid access entries defined.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Access Entries:
  
  If there are no access entries, you will need to create them. This can be done in the same transaction where you checked the configuration.
  Ensure that the access sequence is linked to the appropriate condition types and that the necessary fields are included.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the access sequence was recently transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects were included and transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom developments that interact with the access sequence, review the code to ensure it is functioning as intended.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the access sequence to ensure that it is now functioning correctly and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Access Sequences: Access sequences are used in SAP to determine the conditions under which certain pricing or other conditions apply. They are a key part of the pricing procedure.
  Condition Types: Condition types are linked to access sequences and define how pricing is calculated.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as V/06 (for condition types), V/07 (for access sequences), and V/08 (for condition records) to manage and troubleshoot pricing conditions.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP Basis or functional consultant who can provide deeper insights into the configuration and potential issues.
