• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING031 - Access sequence &1 is inconsistent; target field &2 missing in access &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING031 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the access sequence configuration. Specifically, it means that a target field that is expected to be present in the access sequence is missing. This can occur in various contexts, such as pricing, condition records, or other areas where access sequences are used to determine conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Target Field: The target field specified in the error message is not included in the access sequence. This can happen if the access sequence was modified, and the target field was removed or not added correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The access sequence may have been incorrectly configured, leading to a mismatch between the expected fields and the actual fields defined in the access sequence.
  Transport Issues: If the access sequence was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport that caused the inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Access Sequence Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/07 (for pricing) or the relevant transaction for your specific area.
  Locate the access sequence mentioned in the error message.
  Verify that the target field specified in the error message is included in the access sequence. If it is missing, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Modify Access Sequence:
  
  If the target field is indeed missing, you can add it by editing the access sequence.
  Ensure that the sequence of fields is correct and that all necessary fields are included.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to see if there were any errors or warnings related to the access sequence.
  If necessary, re-transport the access sequence or manually adjust it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the access sequence to ensure that it works as expected 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 consist of a series of condition tables that are checked in a specific order.
  Condition Records: Condition records are the actual data entries that use the access sequence to determine pricing, discounts, or other conditions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as V/06 (for maintaining condition records), V/07 (for maintaining access sequences), and V/08 (for condition types).
