  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB051 - Condition table &1 does not contain the condition contract number ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W_CB051 Condition table &1 does not contain the condition contract number


    Cause

    This warning message occurs during pricing or condition determination in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Contract Management when the system expects the condition contract number to be part of the condition table but it is not included.

    • The condition table being used for condition determination does not have the field for the condition contract number (usually field KNUMV or a related field).
    • The pricing procedure or condition technique expects the contract number to be part of the key fields in the condition table to correctly find or apply contract-related conditions.
    • This situation often arises when you are working with contract pricing or condition contracts, and the system tries to find a condition record linked to a contract number, but the condition table does not support this field.

    Explanation

    • Condition tables define the key fields used to store and retrieve condition records.
    • When contract pricing is used, the system needs to find condition records linked to a specific contract number.
    • If the condition table does not include the contract number field, the system cannot find or store condition records for contracts properly.
    • Hence, the warning W_CB051 is issued to indicate this mismatch.

    Solution

    1. Check the Condition Table Configuration:

      • Go to transaction V/03 (Display Condition Table).
      • Check the fields included in the condition table &1 (the number given in the message).
      • Verify if the contract number field (usually KNUMV or a specific contract number field) is part of the table.
    2. Modify or Use a Different Condition Table:

      • If the contract number field is missing, you need to either:
        • Use a condition table that includes the contract number field.
        • Or create a new condition table that includes the contract number field.
      • This ensures that condition records can be stored and retrieved based on the contract number.
    3. Adjust Condition Records and Pricing Procedure:

      • After ensuring the condition table includes the contract number, maintain condition records accordingly.
      • Make sure the pricing procedure and condition types are set up to use the correct condition table.
    4. Check Access Sequence:

      • Verify the access sequence assigned to the condition type.
      • Ensure that the access sequence uses condition tables that contain the contract number field.
    5. Transport and Test:

      • After changes, transport the configuration to the relevant system.
      • Test the pricing or contract processing to confirm the warning no longer appears.
