• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB165 - Condition type &1 is not permitted for condition table &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB165 Condition type &1 is not permitted for condition table &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to assign or use a condition type in a condition table where it is not allowed or not defined. In SAP pricing or condition technique, each condition type is allowed to be used only in certain condition tables based on the configuration and business rules.
  
  Condition type (&1): The pricing or condition type you are trying to use.
  Condition table (&2): The condition table where you are trying to assign or use the condition type.
  
  The system checks whether the condition type is permitted for the condition table during configuration or runtime. If it is not permitted, this warning is triggered.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Incorrect configuration: The condition type has not been assigned or allowed for the condition table in the pricing procedure or condition technique setup.
  Custom condition tables: When using custom condition tables, the condition type might not be maintained properly.
  Inconsistent or incomplete customizing: Missing entries in the condition type or condition table assignment.
  Attempting to use a condition type in a condition table that does not support it (e.g., a condition type designed for customer pricing is being used in a material pricing table).
  
  
  Where does this happen?
  
  In pricing procedure configuration (transaction codes like V/06, V/07, V/08).
  When maintaining condition records (transaction codes like VK11, VK12).
  During pricing determination in sales documents if the configuration is inconsistent.
  
  
  How to check and solve the issue:
  
  
  Check condition type assignment:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (or SPRO path: Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types).
  Verify the condition type settings and ensure it is allowed for the intended condition tables.
  
  
  
  Check condition tables:
  
  Go to transaction V/03 to display condition tables.
  Verify if the condition table (&2) is appropriate for the condition type (&1).
  
  
  
  Check access sequences:
  
  Condition types are linked to access sequences, which in turn refer to condition tables.
  Go to transaction V/07 to check the access sequence assigned to the condition type.
  Verify that the access sequence includes the condition table (&2).
  
  
  
  Maintain condition type in access sequence:
  
  If the condition table is missing in the access sequence, add it if appropriate.
  If the condition type is not allowed for the condition table, adjust the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check authorization and master data:
  
  Sometimes, the error can be triggered by missing master data or authorization issues, though this is less common.
  
  
  
  Customizing path to check:
  
  SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types
  SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Access Sequences
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  This is a warning (W_) message, so it may not stop processing but indicates a configuration inconsistency.
  Ignoring this warning may lead to incorrect pricing or condition determination.
  Always test changes in a development or quality system before transporting to production.
