• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W4074 - &: & listing conditions exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W4074 & : & listing conditions exist
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to perform a sales document operation (such as creating or changing a sales order) and the system detects that listing conditions exist for the customer/material combination or sales area. Listing conditions are used in SAP SD to control which materials a customer is allowed to order. If a material is not on the customer's listing, the system can block or warn about the order.
  The message indicates that there are listing conditions defined for the customer or sales area, and the current material or condition is affected by these listing conditions.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Listing conditions are part of SAP's pricing and condition technique.
  They are used to restrict or allow certain materials for a customer or customer/material combination.
  If a material is not listed in the customer's listing, the system can prevent the order or issue a warning.
  The message W4074 is a warning, not an error, so the system allows you to continue but informs you about the listing conditions.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating or changing sales documents.
  When the system checks the listing conditions during pricing or item processing.
  If the material is not included in the listing for the customer or sales area.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  
  Check Listing Conditions:
  
  Use transaction VK13 (Display Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to check the listing conditions for the relevant condition type (usually condition type LIS or similar).
  Verify if the material/customer combination is included or excluded.
  
  
  
  Adjust Listing Conditions:
  
  If the material should be allowed for the customer, add it to the listing condition records.
  If the material should not be allowed, keep the listing as is.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Document:
  
  Review the sales order to ensure the correct material and customer are entered.
  If the warning is acceptable, you can proceed with the order.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Listing conditions are configured in SPRO under:
  Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types
  Verify the condition type used for listing and its control settings.
  
  
  
  Suppress Warning (if appropriate):
  
  If the warning is not relevant, you can adjust the message control in V/06 to change the message type from warning to error or suppress it, but this should be done carefully.
