  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB190 - Calculation type &1 does not exist ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB190 Calculation type &1 does not exist


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs when the system tries to reference a calculation type (e.g., in pricing, costing, or settlement processes) that is not defined or does not exist in the system. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual calculation type code that the system could not find.

    Common scenarios include:

    • A calculation type is missing in the configuration.
    • A typo or incorrect calculation type code is used in a master data record or customizing.
    • The calculation type was deleted or not transported properly between systems.
    • The system is trying to process a document or transaction that references a non-existent calculation type.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Calculation Type Configuration:

      • Go to the relevant IMG path depending on the module:
        • For Pricing:
          SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Calculation Types
        • For Costing or Settlement:
          SPRO -> Controlling -> Cost Object Controlling -> Product Cost by Period -> Costing Sheet -> Define Calculation Types
      • Verify if the calculation type mentioned in the error exists.
    2. Correct the Calculation Type Reference:

      • If the calculation type is missing, create it with the required parameters.
      • If the calculation type is incorrect in master data or customizing, correct the entry to use an existing calculation type.
    3. Check Master Data and Transaction Data:

      • Review the master data (e.g., condition records, costing sheets, settlement rules) or transaction data that might be referencing the calculation type.
      • Correct any incorrect references.
    4. Transport and System Consistency:

      • If the calculation type exists in the development system but not in the production system, ensure that the customizing transport has been imported correctly.
      • Check for inconsistencies between systems.
    5. Debugging (if necessary):

      • If the cause is not obvious, debugging the relevant function module or program that triggers the error can help identify where the calculation type is being called.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: W_CB190 belongs to message class CB which is related to Controlling (CO) module.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • OKKN - Define Calculation Types for Costing Sheets
      • VK11 - Maintain Pricing Conditions (if pricing related)
    • Notes and Documentation:
      • SAP Notes related to calculation types and costing sheets may provide additional insights.
      • Refer to SAP Help Portal for detailed configuration guides on calculation types.

    Summary:

    The error "Calculation type &1 does not exist" means the system cannot find the specified calculation type in its configuration. To resolve it, verify and correct the calculation type in the system customizing or master data, ensure proper transport, and check for typos or missing entries.


    If you provide the exact calculation type code or the context (module, transaction), I can help you with more specific steps.
