• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPSLL/PRCLS_API015 - Numbering scheme &1 is not of the type "Control Class" ?

  The SAP error message /SAPSLL/PRCLS_API015 indicates that there is an issue with the numbering scheme being used in the context of the SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or SAP Logistics. Specifically, the error states that the numbering scheme you are trying to use is not of the type "Control Class." This typically relates to the configuration of numbering schemes for various processes in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Numbering Scheme Type: The numbering scheme you are trying to use is not defined as a "Control Class" in the system. Control Class numbering schemes are typically used for specific processes that require strict control over the numbering (e.g., customs documents, export declarations).
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings for the numbering scheme in the SAP GTS or Logistics module.
  Missing or Inactive Numbering Scheme: The numbering scheme may not be properly set up or may be inactive in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Numbering Scheme Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for numbering schemes in SAP. This can usually be found in the SPRO transaction under the relevant module (e.g., SAP GTS).
  Verify that the numbering scheme you are trying to use is indeed defined as a "Control Class" type.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Numbering Scheme:
  
  If the numbering scheme does not exist or is not of the correct type, you may need to create a new numbering scheme or modify the existing one to ensure it is set as a "Control Class."
  Ensure that all necessary parameters and settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Activate Numbering Scheme:
  
  If the numbering scheme is inactive, activate it in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on how to configure numbering schemes correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring numbering schemes.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the configuration settings.
