• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T8116 - No evaluation category is maintained for scenario type & ?

  The SAP error message T8116 "No evaluation category is maintained for scenario type &" typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) or Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when the system is unable to find a defined evaluation category for a specific scenario type. This can happen during various processes, such as reporting or data analysis, where the system expects to find a mapping for the scenario type being used.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the evaluation category for the specified scenario type has not been maintained in the system. This can happen if the configuration was not completed or if there were changes in the scenario types that were not reflected in the evaluation categories.
  
  
  Incorrect Scenario Type: The scenario type being referenced may not be valid or may not exist in the system.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport that resulted in missing configurations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Evaluation Categories:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP.
  Navigate to the relevant area for maintaining evaluation categories for the specific scenario type.
  Ensure that the evaluation category is defined for the scenario type that is causing the error. This is typically done in the Customizing settings under the Controlling module.
  
  
  
  Check Scenario Type:
  
  Verify that the scenario type being used is correct and exists in the system.
  If necessary, create or modify the scenario type to ensure it aligns with the evaluation categories.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the configuration or manually adjust it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific scenario type and evaluation categories for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the scenario again to ensure that the error is resolved.
