  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN120 - No message title for condition type & in language & maintained ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    VN120 - No message title for condition type & in language & maintained


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to display or process a pricing condition type, but the message title for that condition type has not been maintained in the specified language. In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), each condition type can have a message title that is used in pricing reports, documents, or output forms. If this title is missing, the system cannot properly display or reference the condition type, leading to this error.


    Explanation:

    • Condition Type: A pricing element like PR00 (price), K004 (discount), etc.
    • Message Title: A short text or description assigned to the condition type for display purposes.
    • Language: The language in which the message title should be maintained (e.g., EN for English, DE for German).

    The system expects that for every condition type used in pricing, a corresponding message title exists in the language of the user or document. If it is missing, the system throws this error.


    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you need to maintain the message title for the condition type in the required language.

    Steps to maintain message title:

    1. Go to transaction code:
      V/06 (Maintain Condition Types)

    2. Select the condition type mentioned in the error message.

    3. Check the message title:

      • In the condition type details, look for the field "Message Title" or "Condition Message Title".
      • If it is empty or missing for the required language, you need to maintain it.
    4. Maintain the message title in the required language:

      • Use transaction SE63 (Translation) if you want to translate the message title into other languages.
      • Or directly maintain the message title in V/06 for the base language.
    5. Save your changes.

    6. Test the pricing or document again to confirm the error is resolved.


    Additional Information:

    • This error is common when new condition types are created but the message titles are not maintained.
    • It can also occur if the user’s logon language differs from the language in which the message title was maintained.
    • Always ensure that message titles are maintained for all languages used in your system to avoid such errors.
    • If you have multiple languages, use transaction SE63 to translate message titles properly.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error VN120 - No message title for condition type & in language & maintained
    Cause Missing message title for condition type in the specified language
    Solution Maintain the message title in transaction V/06 or translate via SE63
    Related T-codes V/06, SE63
