  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB076 - Combination Contract Partner Type &1/Type of El. Partners &2 not allowed ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB076 Combination Contract Partner Type &1 / Type of El. Partners &2 not allowed


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs when you try to create or process a contract in SAP where the combination of the Contract Partner Type (&1) and the Type of Electronic Partner (&2) is not permitted according to the system's configuration or business rules.

    • Contract Partner Type refers to the category of the partner involved in the contract (e.g., customer, vendor, employee, etc.).
    • Type of Electronic Partner refers to the classification of the partner in electronic data interchange (EDI) or electronic communication context.

    The system checks these partner types against allowed combinations defined in customizing or master data. If the combination is invalid or not maintained, this warning is triggered.


    Common Causes:

    • The combination of partner types is not maintained in the customizing tables.
    • Incorrect partner type assigned in the contract or partner master data.
    • Missing or incorrect configuration in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Contract Management settings.
    • Business rules or validations that restrict certain partner type combinations.

    Where to Check / Configuration:

    1. Check Partner Type Combinations:

      • Transaction: SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Partner Determination ? Define Partner Functions and Partner Types.
      • Or in Contract Management customizing, check the allowed partner type combinations.
    2. Check Electronic Partner Types:

      • In EDI or electronic communication customizing, verify the partner types allowed for electronic partners.
    3. Partner Master Data:

      • Verify the partner types assigned in the master data (e.g., customer master, vendor master).
    4. Contract Document Type / Partner Roles:

      • Check if the contract document type or partner roles allow the combination of partner types.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    • Maintain Allowed Combinations:

      • Update the customizing to include the combination of Contract Partner Type and Electronic Partner Type that you want to allow.
      • This is usually done in the partner determination or contract management customizing.
    • Correct Partner Types:

      • Review and correct the partner types assigned in the contract or partner master data to valid combinations.
    • Adjust Business Rules:

      • If the combination should be allowed but is restricted by custom validations or user exits, adjust the logic accordingly.
    • Consult Functional Team:

      • If unsure about the correct partner types or allowed combinations, consult the functional team responsible for contract management or EDI.

    Additional Information:

    • This is a warning message (W_), so it may not stop the process but indicates a potential issue.
    • Ignoring this warning might lead to problems in contract processing or electronic communication.
    • The message text usually includes the actual partner types in place of &1 and &2, which helps identify the problematic combination.

    If you provide the exact partner types (&1 and &2) from the message, I can help you identify the specific configuration to check.
