  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB005 - Customizing error: Condition table &1 belongs to application &2 ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB005 Customizing error: Condition table &1 belongs to application &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs during the configuration of condition techniques in SAP (e.g., pricing, output determination, or other condition-based processes). It indicates that the condition table you are trying to assign or use belongs to a different application than the one currently being configured.

    • &1 = Condition table number or name
    • &2 = Application (e.g., V for Sales and Distribution, M for Materials Management, etc.)

    In SAP, condition tables are assigned to specific applications. You cannot use a condition table from one application in the customizing of another application because the data structures and business logic differ.


    When does it occur?

    • When you try to assign or create a condition table in the condition technique customizing for an application that does not own that table.
    • For example, trying to use a Sales and Distribution (SD) condition table in a Materials Management (MM) pricing procedure.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check the application assignment of the condition table:

      • Use transaction V/03 (Display Condition Table) or V/04 (Change Condition Table) to check the application assigned to the condition table.
    2. Use the correct condition table for your application:

      • Make sure you use condition tables that belong to the application you are customizing.
      • If you need a new condition table, create one assigned to the correct application.
    3. Create a new condition table if necessary:

      • If the existing tables do not meet your requirements, create a new condition table via transaction V/03 or through the IMG path: SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Conditions -> Define Condition Tables
      • Assign the new table to the correct application.
    4. Check your customizing steps:

      • Verify that you are in the correct customizing node for the application you want to configure.
      • For example, pricing tables for SD should be maintained under Sales and Distribution customizing, not MM.

    Additional Information:

    • Applications and their codes:

      • V = Sales and Distribution (SD)
      • M = Materials Management (MM)
      • P = Production Planning (PP)
      • Others depending on the module
    • Condition tables are fundamental in the condition technique and define the key fields used to determine conditions.

    • Mixing condition tables across applications can lead to inconsistent or incorrect condition determination.


    Summary:

    Aspect Description
    Cause Condition table belongs to a different application than the one being customized.
    Effect Warning message W_CB005 is raised.
    Solution Use or create condition tables assigned to the correct application. Verify application assignment before use.
    Transaction V/03, V/04 for condition tables; SPRO for customizing.

    If you provide the exact condition table and application codes from your message, I can help you identify the correct application or suggest alternatives.
