  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB059 - Condition type &1 is flagged as condition-contract-relevant ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB059 Condition type &1 is flagged as condition-contract-relevant


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs in the context of pricing and condition technique in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) or related modules. The message indicates that the condition type (represented by &1) is flagged as condition-contract-relevant in the system.

    • Condition-contract-relevant means that the condition type is linked to contract management or contract conditions.
    • When a condition type is flagged as contract-relevant, it implies that this condition should be maintained or processed in the context of contracts (e.g., quantity contracts, value contracts).
    • The warning typically appears when you try to use or maintain this condition type outside the scope of a contract or in a pricing procedure where contract relevance is not expected or allowed.

    Typical Causes:

    1. Condition type flagged as contract-relevant in configuration:

      • In transaction V/06 (Maintain Condition Types), the flag "Condition contract relevant" is set for the condition type.
    2. Using the condition type in a pricing procedure or document where contract relevance is not applicable:

      • For example, using a contract-relevant condition type in a sales order or billing document that is not linked to a contract.
    3. Missing or incorrect contract reference:

      • The system expects a contract reference for this condition type, but none is provided.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check the condition type settings:

      • Go to transaction V/06.
      • Enter the condition type &1.
      • Check if the flag "Condition contract relevant" is set.
      • If this condition type should not be contract-relevant, remove the flag.
      • If it should be contract-relevant, ensure that the sales document or pricing procedure is correctly linked to a contract.
    2. Review the pricing procedure and document flow:

      • Make sure that the condition type is used only in documents where contract relevance is valid.
      • If you are creating a sales order or billing document, ensure it references the appropriate contract.
    3. Maintain contract data properly:

      • If the condition type is contract-relevant, ensure that the contract exists and the condition records are maintained in the contract.
    4. Consult with functional team:

      • Sometimes, the flag is set intentionally for business reasons. Confirm with the SD/contract management team whether the condition type should be contract-relevant.

    Additional Information:

    • Transaction codes:

      • V/06 - Maintain Condition Types
      • VA43 - Display Contract
      • VA42 - Change Contract
      • VA41 - Create Contract
    • Related SAP Notes:

      • Check SAP Notes related to condition contract relevance and pricing errors for your SAP version.
    • Impact:

      • This warning does not necessarily stop processing but indicates a potential inconsistency.
      • Ignoring it may lead to incorrect pricing or contract processing.
