• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB096 - Price list category &1 does not exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB096 Price list category &1 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when the system tries to access or reference a price list category that is not defined or does not exist in the system. The placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual price list category code that the system could not find.
  Typically, this happens in scenarios such as:
  
  When creating or processing sales documents (e.g., sales orders, quotations) that refer to a price list category which has not been maintained.
  When customizing or configuring pricing procedures or condition records that involve price list categories.
  When integrating with external systems or master data where the price list category is referenced but missing in SAP.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Price List Category Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction or IMG path where price list categories are maintained.
  Verify if the price list category code (the one shown in the message) exists.
  If it does not exist, create or maintain the missing price list category.
  
  
  
  Maintain Price List Categories:
  
  In SAP, price list categories are often maintained under:
  
  SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Price Lists ? Define Price List Categories
  
  
  Use transaction code V/06 (or check your system-specific transaction) to maintain price list categories.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing and Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure or condition records referencing the price list category are correctly configured.
  Verify that the sales document or material master data does not contain invalid or obsolete price list category references.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  If the error occurs during data migration or interface processing, check the source data for invalid price list category codes.
  Correct the source data or map it properly to existing SAP price list categories.

To resolve it, verify and maintain the missing price list category in customizing or master data, ensuring all references to price list categories in sales documents and pricing procedures are valid and consistent.
