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


    SAP Error Message:

    W/190 Price list &1 distr. ch. &2 &3 does not exist - processing impossible


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message indicates that the system could not find a valid price list for the specified distribution channel and sales organization (or other organizational units depending on the context). The placeholders &1, &2, &3 represent:

    • &1 = Price list number or identifier
    • &2 = Distribution channel
    • &3 = Sales organization (or another relevant organizational unit)

    The system tries to determine pricing based on the price list assigned to a particular distribution channel and sales organization. If this price list is missing or not maintained, the system cannot proceed with pricing determination, hence the warning.


    Common Causes:

    • The price list number (&1) does not exist in the system.
    • The price list is not assigned to the specified distribution channel (&2) and sales organization (&3).
    • Master data inconsistencies or incomplete configuration in pricing conditions.
    • Incorrect or missing entries in the condition records or pricing procedure.
    • The sales document or transaction is referencing a price list that has been deleted or not yet created.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check Price List Master Data:

      • Go to transaction VK11 / VK12 / VK13 (Maintain / Display Pricing Conditions).
      • Verify if the price list (&1) exists and is active.
    2. Verify Assignment of Price List to Distribution Channel and Sales Organization:

      • Check the configuration in SPRO under:
        • Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Price Lists.
      • Ensure the price list is correctly assigned to the distribution channel (&2) and sales organization (&3).
    3. Maintain Condition Records:

      • Use VK11 to create or maintain condition records for the price list.
      • Ensure that the condition records are valid for the relevant sales area (sales org + distribution channel + division).
    4. Check Sales Document Data:

      • Verify that the sales document or transaction is referencing the correct price list.
      • Correct any manual entries or defaults that might be pointing to a non-existent price list.
    5. Review Pricing Procedure:

      • Ensure the pricing procedure includes the price list condition type.
      • Confirm that the pricing procedure is assigned to the sales area.
    6. Transport / System Issues:

      • If this issue occurs after a transport or system upgrade, verify that all relevant master data and configuration have been transported correctly.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is a warning (W), so processing might be stopped or limited depending on the business process.
    • The error typically appears during sales order creation, billing, or pricing determination.
    • If the price list is optional in your business process, you might consider adjusting the pricing procedure or condition records to handle missing price lists gracefully.
    • Consult with your SD (Sales and Distribution) or Pricing team to ensure master data and configuration are aligned.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message W/190 Price list &1 distr. ch. &2 &3 does not exist - processing impossible
    Cause Missing or incorrect price list assignment for distribution channel and sales org
