  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN2040 - Access sequence: & Test of all accesses ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VN2040:


    SAP Error Message: VN2040

    Message Text:
    Access sequence: & Test of all accesses


    Meaning / Cause:

    This message typically appears during the pricing procedure determination or condition technique processing in SAP MM (Materials Management) or SD (Sales and Distribution) modules. It indicates that the system has tested all accesses in the specified access sequence but did not find any valid condition record.

    • Access sequence is a search strategy that the system uses to find valid condition records for pricing, output determination, or other condition techniques.
    • The message means that the system has gone through all the steps (accesses) defined in the access sequence but could not find any matching condition record for the current transaction data.

    When does it occur?

    • During pricing determination in purchasing or sales documents.
    • When the system tries to find a condition record for a condition type but none exists or none matches the current document data.
    • It can also occur during output determination or other condition technique processes.

    Common Causes:

    1. No condition records exist for the condition type and access sequence combination.
    2. Condition records exist but do not match the current document data (e.g., vendor, material, purchasing org, sales org, customer, etc.).
    3. The access sequence is not properly maintained or assigned to the condition type.
    4. The condition type is not included in the pricing procedure or output determination procedure.
    5. Incorrect or incomplete master data (e.g., vendor master, material master, customer master) leading to no match.
    6. The validity period of the condition records does not cover the document date.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check Condition Records:

      • Use transaction MEK1 (Purchasing) or VK11 (Sales) to create or maintain condition records.
      • Verify that condition records exist for the relevant condition type and access sequence.
      • Ensure the condition records are valid for the document date and relevant organizational levels.
    2. Check Access Sequence:

      • Use transaction M/03 (Purchasing) or V/07 (Sales) to display the access sequence.
      • Verify that the access sequence is correctly assigned to the condition type.
      • Check the sequence of accesses and the fields used for searching condition records.
    3. Check Pricing Procedure / Output Procedure:

      • Ensure the condition type is included in the pricing procedure (transaction M/08 for purchasing or V/08 for sales).
      • Verify that the pricing procedure is assigned to the document type and organizational data.
    4. Check Master Data:

      • Verify vendor, material, customer master data for completeness and correctness.
      • Ensure that the data used in the document matches the fields used in the access sequence.
    5. Test Access Sequence:

      • Use transaction M/03 or V/07 to test the access sequence with the current document data.
      • This helps identify which accesses are failing to find condition records.
    6. Adjust or Create Condition Records:

      • If no condition records exist, create them.
      • If condition records exist but do not match, adjust the records or the document data accordingly.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is informational and does not necessarily mean an error; it just indicates no condition record was found.
    • If pricing or output is mandatory, absence of condition records can lead to errors or incorrect pricing/output.
    • Sometimes, this message appears in the system log or pricing trace (transaction /n/SDPRICER or /n/MEK3 for condition record display).
    • Use pricing trace (transaction /n/SDPRICER or /n/MEK3) to analyze how the system searches for condition records.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message VN2040 - Access sequence: & Test of all accesses
    Cause No valid condition record found in all accesses of the access sequence
    Solution Create/maintain condition records, check access sequence and pricing procedure, verify master data
    Transactions to use MEK1, MEK3, M/03, VK11, V/07, M/08, V/08, SDPRICER
