  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VP350 - Sales function & & & not defined ?

    The SAP error message:

    VP350 Sales function & & & not defined

    typically occurs in the context of sales document processing, often during sales order creation or processing in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module.


    Cause

    This error indicates that a sales function (a specific processing step or action in the sales document flow) is not defined or maintained in the system for the combination of sales document type, item category, or other relevant customizing settings.

    More specifically:

    • The system is trying to execute a sales function (e.g., copy control, pricing, output determination, or status update) identified by certain parameters, but it cannot find a corresponding entry in the customizing tables.
    • The placeholders & & & in the message represent the missing sales function or related keys (like sales document type, item category, or sales function code).
    • This usually happens if the customizing for sales functions is incomplete or inconsistent.

    Where it occurs

    • During sales order creation or processing.
    • When the system tries to determine or execute a sales function (e.g., copy control functions, status functions).
    • In user exits or BAdIs that call sales functions.
    • In sales document flow processing.

    Solution

    1. Check Customizing for Sales Functions

      • Go to transaction SPRO ?
        Sales and Distribution ?
        Sales ?
        Sales Documents ?
        Sales Document Header or Item ?
        Define Sales Functions

      • Verify that the sales function referenced in the error message is properly defined and assigned to the relevant sales document type and item category.

    2. Check Copy Control Settings

      • If the error occurs during document copying (e.g., from quotation to sales order), check the copy control settings:

        • Transaction VTAA (Sales Document: Copying Requirements)
        • Transaction VTFA (Sales Document: Copying Control for Header)
        • Transaction VTLA (Sales Document: Copying Control for Item)
      • Ensure that the sales functions involved in copying are maintained.

    3. Check User Exits or Enhancements

      • If custom code or user exits are involved, verify that the sales function codes used in the code are valid and maintained in customizing.
    4. Check Status Profile and Sales Document Status

      • Sometimes, sales functions are linked to status profiles. Check if the status profile assigned to the sales document type has all necessary sales functions defined.
    5. Debugging

      • If the cause is not obvious, debug the sales document processing to identify which sales function is missing.

    Related Information

    • Sales functions in SAP SD are used to control processing steps in sales documents.
    • Missing or incorrect customizing entries for sales functions cause this error.
    • The error message is generic; the actual missing function codes are shown in the message placeholders.
    • SAP Notes and documentation related to sales functions and copy control may provide additional guidance.
