  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB016 - No "KONH" entry exists for knumh &1 ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB016 No "KONH" entry exists for knumh &1


    Meaning / Cause:

    • The message indicates that the system could not find an entry in the KONH table for the given KNUMH (Condition Contract Number).
    • KNUMH is the condition contract number used in pricing and conditions management.
    • This usually happens when the system tries to access condition contract header data (KONH) for a particular contract number, but no such record exists.
    • Possible reasons:
      • The condition contract number is incorrect or does not exist.
      • The condition contract has been deleted or not yet created.
      • Data inconsistency or missing master data.
      • The condition contract number was not properly passed or maintained in the process.

    Where is KONH used?

    • KONH is the Condition Contract Header table in SAP.
    • It stores header data for condition contracts used in pricing, rebates, and agreements.
    • Condition contracts are used in SD (Sales and Distribution) for managing pricing agreements, rebates, and special conditions.

    When does this error occur?

    • During pricing or rebate processing.
    • When the system tries to read condition contract data for a given KNUMH but fails.
    • In rebate settlement, pricing procedures, or condition contract maintenance.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check the KNUMH value:

      • Verify the condition contract number passed in the process.
      • Make sure it is correct and exists in the system.
    2. Verify KONH entries:

      • Use transaction SE16/SE16N or SE11 to check the KONH table for the given KNUMH.
      • If no entry exists, the contract number is invalid or missing.
    3. Check condition contract creation:

      • Ensure that the condition contract has been created properly.
      • If missing, create the condition contract or correct the process to use a valid contract number.
    4. Check master data and integration:

      • If the contract number is passed from another module or process, verify the integration and data flow.
      • Ensure that the contract number is correctly maintained and transferred.
    5. Debugging:

      • If the error occurs during a custom program or user exit, debug to check how KNUMH is determined and passed.
      • Check for any custom logic that might be causing an incorrect KNUMH.
    6. Recreate or restore missing data:

      • If the KONH entry was accidentally deleted, restore it from backup or recreate the condition contract.

    Additional Information:

    • KNUMH is a key field linking condition records and contracts.
    • The KONH table contains fields like:
      • KNUMH (Condition Contract Number)
      • KNUMV (Condition Contract Version)
      • Validity dates, status, etc.
    • Related tables:
      • KONP (Condition Contract Items)
      • KONV (Condition Records)
    • This error is a warning (W_) indicating missing data but may block further processing depending on context.
