  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB090 - Industry key &1 does not exist ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB090 Industry key &1 does not exist


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs when the system tries to reference an Industry Key (also called Industry Sector) that is not defined or does not exist in the system. The Industry Key is a classification used in SAP to categorize business partners, customers, or vendors according to their industry sector.

    The placeholder &1 in the message will be replaced by the actual Industry Key value that the system could not find.

    Common scenarios causing this error include:

    • The Industry Key entered in master data (e.g., customer master, vendor master, or business partner) is invalid or mistyped.
    • The Industry Key has not been maintained in the customizing tables.
    • Data migration or interface errors where invalid Industry Keys are passed to SAP.
    • Custom programs or enhancements referencing non-existent Industry Keys.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Industry Key entered:

      • Go to the master data record (customer/vendor/business partner) and verify the Industry Key field.
      • Correct any typos or invalid entries.
    2. Maintain the Industry Key in Customizing:

      • Use transaction code SPRO to navigate to the customizing path:
        SAP Reference IMG ? Logistics General ? Business Partner ? Basic Settings ? Industry Key
      • Alternatively, the path might be:
        SAP Reference IMG ? Cross-Application Components ? Industry Sector
      • Here, check if the Industry Key in question exists.
      • If it does not exist, create a new Industry Key with the appropriate description.
    3. Check Data Migration or Interfaces:

      • If the error occurs during data upload or interface processing, verify the source data for valid Industry Keys.
      • Correct the source data or map invalid keys to valid ones.
    4. Check Custom Code:

      • If custom programs or user exits are involved, review the code to ensure it references valid Industry Keys.

    Related Information:

    • Industry Key (Industry Sector) is used in various SAP modules such as SD (Sales and Distribution), FI (Financial Accounting), and MM (Materials Management) to classify business partners.
    • The Industry Key is stored in table T005U (Industry Key table).
    • The field name for Industry Key in customer master is usually BRAN1 (Industry Key).
    • This warning message is informational but should be resolved to ensure data consistency and correct reporting.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message W_CB090 Industry key &1 does not exist
    Cause Industry Key used in master data or process does not exist in customizing
    Solution Verify and correct Industry Key in master data; maintain missing Industry Key in customizing (SPRO)
    Transaction SPRO ? Logistics General ? Business Partner ? Basic Settings ? Industry Key
    Table T005U (Industry Key table)

    If you need further assistance, please provide the Industry Key value causing the error or the context (e.g., transaction or process) where the error occurs.
