• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING621 - No key field may follow a non-key field ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING621 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a condition table in the SAP system. Specifically, the error states that "No key field may follow a non-key field." This typically occurs when defining a condition table in the SAP Customizing for Pricing or similar areas where condition records are maintained.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the sequence of fields in a condition table is not correctly defined. In SAP, key fields are used to uniquely identify records, while non-key fields are used for additional information. The system requires that all key fields must be defined before any non-key fields in the table structure. If a non-key field is placed before a key field, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the condition table and ensure that the order of fields is correct. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Condition Table Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG.
  Navigate to the relevant section for pricing or condition tables, typically found under Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Tables.
  
  
  
  Review the Field Sequence:
  
  Locate the condition table that is causing the error.
  Check the sequence of fields defined in the table. Ensure that all key fields are listed first, followed by any non-key fields.
  
  
  
  Modify the Field Order:
  
  If you find that a non-key field is incorrectly placed before a key field, adjust the order of the fields.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Key Fields: These are fields that uniquely identify a record in the condition table. Examples include customer number, material number, etc.
  Non-Key Fields: These are additional fields that provide more context or information but do not uniquely identify a record.
  Condition Tables: These are used in SAP to store pricing conditions and other related data. They are essential for the pricing process in sales and distribution.
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Always back up your configuration before making changes.
  If you are unsure about the correct field order, consult with your SAP functional consultant or refer to SAP documentation for guidance on the specific condition table you are working with.
  If the issue persists after correcting the field order, consider checking for any other configuration errors or inconsistencies in related settings.
