• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB161 - Copy control group &1 does not contain an action profile ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB161 Copy control group &1 does not contain an action profile
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs during document processing (e.g., sales order to delivery, delivery to billing) when the system tries to find an action profile assigned to the copy control group but does not find any. The copy control group is a key element in SAP's copy control functionality, which controls how data is copied from one document to another.
  
  The copy control group (e.g., for sales document types or item categories) is configured in the system.
  However, the action profile (which defines the actions to be performed during copying, such as copying item data, conditions, texts, etc.) is missing or not assigned to this copy control group.
  As a result, the system cannot determine what to copy or how to process the document copy, leading to this warning.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During document copying processes like:
  Sales order ? Delivery
  Delivery ? Billing
  Quotation ?
