  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR611 - Column heading for line structure & changed ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VR611Column heading for line structure & changed


    Meaning / Cause:

    The message VR611 appears when you try to change the column heading for a line structure in a billing document or pricing procedure, and the system detects that the column heading has already been changed or is inconsistent with the current configuration.

    In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), line structures define how data is displayed in the item overview or pricing procedure. Each column heading corresponds to a field in the line structure. If you attempt to modify the column heading for a line structure field that has already been changed or locked, the system issues this message.

    Typical causes include:

    • Attempting to change a column heading that is already customized.
    • Inconsistency between the line structure and the column heading definitions.
    • Customizing or user exit code that modifies column headings conflicting with standard settings.
    • Transport or client copy issues where the line structure and column headings are out of sync.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check Customizing for Line Structures:

      • Go to transaction V/06 (Maintain Line Structures).
      • Verify the line structure and the column headings assigned.
      • If you want to change a column heading, ensure it is not locked or already changed in a conflicting way.
    2. Reset or Adjust Column Headings:

      • If the column heading was changed unintentionally, reset it to the standard value.
      • You can do this in the same customizing transaction or via the relevant IMG path:
        • SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Reports and Line Structure ? Define Line Structure
    3. Check for User Exits or Enhancements:

      • Review any user exits or BADIs that might be modifying column headings dynamically.
      • For example, user exit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK or similar might be involved.
      • Disable or adjust the code if it causes conflicts.
    4. Transport and Client Copy:

      • If the issue appeared after a transport or client copy, verify that all related customizing objects were transported correctly.
      • Re-import or adjust customizing as needed.
    5. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to VR611.
      • If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP, providing details of the line structure and the changes attempted.
