• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SIC_NORM_ENGINE108 - Variable &2 does not exist in condition type &1 ?

  The SAP error message SIC_NORM_ENGINE108 indicates that there is an issue with a variable in a condition type. Specifically, it states that the variable (denoted as &2) does not exist in the specified condition type (denoted as &1). This error typically arises in the context of pricing, discounts, or other conditions in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) modules.
  Cause:
  
  Variable Definition: The variable referenced in the error message has not been defined in the system for the specified condition type. This could happen if the variable was deleted or never created.
  Incorrect Configuration: The condition type may be incorrectly configured, leading to the system not recognizing the variable.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the variable might not have been included in the transport.
  User Exit or BAdI: If there are custom enhancements (like user exits or BAdIs) that manipulate condition types or variables, they might be causing the issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Variable Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/06 (for condition types) or V/07 (for condition tables) and verify if the variable exists for the specified condition type.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or adjust the condition type to use a different variable.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the condition type in the SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) transaction. Ensure that all necessary variables are correctly assigned.
  Make sure that the condition type is set up to use the variable in question.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If needed, re-transport the missing objects or manually create the variable in the target system.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error persists, consider debugging the pricing procedure to see where the variable is being called and why it is not recognized.
  Check for any custom code that might be affecting the condition type or variable.
