  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB003 - No condition tables maintained for condition contract type &1 ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB003 No condition tables maintained for condition contract type &1


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs in SAP when you try to maintain or use condition records for a condition contract type that does not have any condition tables assigned or maintained in the system.

    • Condition contract type refers to a specific type of contract used in SAP Contract Management (e.g., in Sales and Distribution or Materials Management).
    • Condition tables define the structure of condition records (fields and key combinations) that are used to store pricing or other condition data.
    • If no condition tables are assigned to the contract type, the system cannot find any valid tables to maintain or retrieve condition records, hence the warning.

    When does it occur?

    • When you try to create or change condition records for a contract type in transaction codes like MEK1, MEK2, MEK3 (for purchasing conditions) or other condition maintenance transactions.
    • When the system tries to determine condition tables for a contract type but finds none assigned.

    Cause:

    • The contract type has not been properly configured in customizing.
    • Specifically, no condition tables have been assigned to the condition contract type in the IMG (Implementation Guide).
    • This is usually a configuration oversight or incomplete setup.

    Solution:

    1. Check and assign condition tables to the condition contract type:

      • Go to SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (transaction SPRO):
        • Navigate to:
          Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Condition Contract Types
        • Select the relevant contract type.
        • Assign the appropriate condition tables to this contract type.
    2. Maintain condition tables:

      • If no condition tables exist for your scenario, you may need to create or copy existing condition tables that fit your business requirements.
      • This is done in the IMG under:
        • Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Condition Tables
    3. Check access sequences:

      • Ensure that the access sequences linked to the condition contract type include valid condition tables.
      • Access sequences define the search strategy for condition records.
    4. After configuration, try maintaining condition records again.


    Additional Information:

    • This message is a warning (W_), so it may not stop processing but indicates a configuration issue that will prevent condition records from being maintained or found.
    • Proper configuration of condition contract types and their condition tables is essential for pricing and contract management processes.
    • If you are unsure which condition tables to assign, consult your functional consultant or SAP documentation related to your specific module (MM, SD, etc.).

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message Class W_CB (Condition Contract)
    Message Number 003
    Cause No condition tables assigned to contract type
    Solution Assign/maintain condition tables in IMG for the contract type
