• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/GENERATOR357 - Application &1 has no communication structures ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/GENERATOR357 indicates that the application specified (denoted by &1) does not have any communication structures defined. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Condition Management or when working with the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) for configuring applications that rely on communication structures.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Communication Structures: The application you are trying to work with does not have any communication structures defined in the system. Communication structures are essential for data exchange between different components or applications in SAP.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the application settings or the communication structures may not have been properly set up during the implementation.
  Transport Issues: If the application was recently transported from another system, the communication structures may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Communication Structures:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO) and navigate to the configuration settings for the application in question.
  Check if there are any options to define or create communication structures for the application.
  If necessary, create the required communication structures according to the application’s specifications.
  
  
  
  Check Existing Structures:
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the communication structures exist in the system.
  If they exist but are not linked to the application, you may need to adjust the configuration to associate them correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the application was transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including communication structures, were included.
  If they were not included, you may need to create a new transport request that includes the missing structures.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help guides specific to the application you are working with. This may provide insights into the required communication structures and how to set them up.
