• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/CNA014 - Structure &1 does not contain the necessary include &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/CNA014 Structure &1 does not contain the necessary include &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules. This error indicates that a specific structure (denoted by &1) is missing a required include (denoted by &2) that is necessary for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Include: The structure defined in the system does not have the necessary include that is expected by the program or function module you are trying to execute.
  Custom Development: If there has been custom development or modifications made to the standard SAP structures, it is possible that the include was not added or was removed inadvertently.
  Transport Issues: If the system is part of a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality, Production), there may have been issues with transporting changes that included the necessary includes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Structure Definition: Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the definition of the structure mentioned in the error message. Verify if the required include is present.
  Add Missing Include: If the include is missing, you may need to add it to the structure. This requires appropriate authorizations and should be done with caution, ideally in a development environment first.
  Review Custom Code: If there are custom developments that reference this structure, review the code to ensure it is correctly implemented and does not rely on missing includes.
  Transport Changes: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary changes have been transported correctly across the environments.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific version of SAP you are using, as there may be known issues or patches available.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide guidance on similar issues.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE37 (Function Module) to investigate the structures and includes.
  Debugging: If you have access, you can debug the program or function module that is generating the error to get more context on why the include is being called and what is missing.
  
  If you are not comfortable making changes to the system, it is advisable to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for assistance.
