  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB195 - Field &1: &2 is not a points unit ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB195 Field &1: &2 is not a points unit


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs when a field in a SAP transaction or master data is expected to contain a "points unit" (a unit of measure related to points, often used in loyalty programs, incentive calculations, or similar scenarios), but the value entered or maintained is not recognized as a valid points unit in the system.

    • &1 = Field name where the error occurred
    • &2 = The value entered in that field which is not a valid points unit

    In other words, the system expects a unit of measure that is defined as a "points unit" but the entered unit is either missing from the points unit configuration or is a different type of unit.


    Common Causes:

    • The unit entered is not maintained in the system as a points unit.
    • The unit is a standard unit of measure (like KG, PC) but not defined or flagged as a points unit.
    • Data entry error or incorrect unit used in the relevant field.
    • Missing or incomplete configuration of points units in the system.

    Where does this typically occur?

    • In modules or processes involving loyalty points, incentive calculations, or any custom developments where points units are used.
    • When maintaining or processing data related to points or rewards.
    • Possibly in Customer Loyalty Management, Sales, or custom incentive programs.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check the unit entered:
      Verify the unit of measure entered in the field &1. Confirm if it is supposed to be a points unit.

    2. Maintain points units in the system:
      Points units must be defined and maintained in the system. This is usually done in the unit of measure configuration or a custom table related to points units.

      • Use transaction CUNI (Units of Measure) to check if the unit exists.
      • Check if the unit is flagged or categorized as a points unit (this might be a custom attribute or configuration depending on your system setup).
    3. Add or correct the points unit:
      If the unit is missing, create or maintain it as a points unit. This might involve:

      • Defining a new unit of measure.
      • Assigning it to the points unit category or relevant classification.
      • Ensuring it is active and valid for the relevant application.
    4. Correct the data entry:
      If the unit entered is incorrect, replace it with a valid points unit.

    5. Check custom developments/configuration:
      If this is related to a custom program or enhancement, verify the logic that validates points units and ensure the correct units are allowed.


    Additional Information:

    • This is a warning message (W_...), so it may not stop the process but indicates a potential data inconsistency.
    • The exact configuration and handling of points units can vary depending on the SAP module or custom solution in use.
    • Consult your functional consultant or SAP documentation related to loyalty management or incentive programs for specific details on points unit setup.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message W_CB195 Field &1: &2 is not a points unit
    Cause Entered unit is not defined as a points unit
    Solution Verify and maintain the unit as a points unit or correct the entry
    Transaction CUNI (Units of Measure) for checking units
    Module Loyalty Management, Incentives, or custom solutions
