  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB143 - Wrong parameter: No item was specified for condition &1 ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W_CB143 - Wrong parameter: No item was specified for condition &1


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs when a condition record is being processed or maintained, but the system detects that no item (e.g., sales order item, billing item, or pricing item) has been specified for the condition type referenced by &1. Essentially, the condition requires an associated item to be valid, but none was provided.

    This can happen in scenarios such as:

    • Pricing or condition records are being created or updated without linking to any item.
    • Condition types that are item-dependent are used at a header level or without specifying the relevant item.
    • Custom or standard pricing procedures expect an item context for certain conditions, but the input data lacks this.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Condition Type & Usage:

      • Verify the condition type mentioned in the message (&1 will be replaced by the condition type).
      • Confirm whether this condition type is defined to be item-dependent or header-dependent.
      • Use transaction V/06 to check the condition type settings.
    2. Review Pricing Procedure:

      • Ensure that the pricing procedure correctly assigns the condition type to the appropriate item or header level.
      • If the condition is item-dependent, make sure the item exists and is correctly referenced.
    3. Data Entry / Master Data:

      • When entering sales documents or pricing data, ensure that the item is specified for the condition.
      • If the condition is being maintained manually (e.g., in condition records), ensure that the item field is filled where required.
    4. Debugging / Analysis:

      • Use transaction VK13 to display the condition record and check if the item field is empty.
      • If this occurs during pricing or billing, use transaction VA02 or VF02 and check the pricing analysis to see if the condition is applied without an item.
    5. Customizing:

      • If this is a custom condition or enhancement, review the user exits or BADIs that might be manipulating condition records or pricing.
      • Ensure that the logic correctly assigns items to conditions.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • V/06 - Maintain Condition Types
      • VK13 - Display Condition Records
      • VA02 - Change Sales Order
      • VF02 - Change Billing Document
    • SAP Notes / Documentation:

      • Check SAP OSS notes related to condition types and pricing errors.
      • Review SAP Help Portal documentation on pricing procedures and condition records.
    • Common Scenario:

      • This warning often appears when a condition type that is supposed to be item-specific is mistakenly used at the header level or without specifying an item in sales or billing documents.

    Summary:

    W_CB143 warns that a condition type requires an item reference, but none was provided. To resolve, verify the condition type's item dependency, ensure the item is specified in the document or condition record, and adjust the pricing procedure or data entry accordingly.
