• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V1671 - Value contract control only functions with completion rule 'E' ?

  The SAP error message V1671 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a value contract in the SAP system. Specifically, it states that the value contract control only functions with the completion rule set to 'E' (which stands for "Completion based on value"). This error typically arises when trying to process a value contract that does not meet the required completion rule.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The value contract is configured with a completion rule that is not 'E'.
  The system is attempting to execute a transaction or process that requires the value contract to have the completion rule set to 'E'.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the value contract is configured correctly. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Completion Rule:
  
  Go to the transaction code VA42 (Change Value Contract) or VA41 (Create Value Contract).
  Enter the contract number and check the details.
  Look for the completion rule field and ensure it is set to 'E'.
  
  
  
  Change the Completion Rule:
  
  If the completion rule is not set to 'E', you will need to change it. This may involve:
  
  Editing the existing value contract to set the completion rule to 'E'.
  If the contract is already in use, you may need to create a new contract with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are unsure how to change the completion rule, you may need to consult with your SAP configuration team or refer to the SAP documentation for guidance on value contract settings.
