SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UKM_DCD_MSG - Messages for the Documented Credit Decision

• Message number: 121

• Message text: No case type is assigned to rule &1. Usage counter: &2

What causes this issue?

You have defined rules for scoring and credit limit calculation, but you
have not assigned a case type for the creation of a documented credit
decision.
If a rule is used without a case type in the credit profile of a
business partner, a documented credit decision cannot be created when a
credit limit check fails, for example in a sales document. Consequently,
you cannot release the credit-blocked sales document, and not in Credit
Management either.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

In Customizing for Credit Management, enter a case type for each rule:
