  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB216 - Field &2 of condition table &1 is not supported ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB216 Field &2 of condition table &1 is not supported


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs in the SAP Pricing or Condition technique when a field used in a condition table is not supported by the system for pricing or condition determination.

    • &1 = Condition table number
    • &2 = Field name (usually a data element or field from a table)

    The system is informing you that the specified field in the condition table is not recognized or cannot be processed in the pricing or condition determination logic.

    This can happen because:

    • The field is not valid or not allowed in condition tables.
    • The field is not maintained in the system as a valid key field for condition tables.
    • The field is a non-key field or a field that is not supported for condition indexing.
    • The condition table was created or modified incorrectly, including unsupported fields.

    When does it occur?

    • During the creation or modification of condition tables in transaction V/03 or V/04.
    • When activating or saving condition tables.
    • When the system tries to read or process condition records based on the condition table.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check the field in the condition table:

      • Verify if the field &2 is a valid key field for condition tables.
      • Use transaction V/03 (Display Condition Table) or V/04 (Change Condition Table) to review the table.
    2. Check SAP documentation for allowed fields:

      • SAP only allows certain fields (usually key fields) from specific tables (like KNA1, MARA, VBAK, etc.) in condition tables.
      • Refer to SAP Note or documentation on condition tables and allowed fields.
    3. Remove or replace unsupported fields:

      • If the field is not supported, remove it from the condition table.
      • Replace it with a supported field that meets your business requirement.
    4. Use standard condition tables if possible:

      • Instead of creating custom condition tables with unsupported fields, try to use or extend standard condition tables.
    5. Check for OSS Notes:

      • Sometimes, SAP releases OSS Notes that add support for additional fields or fix related issues.
      • Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message W_CB216 or condition tables.
    6. Technical check:

      • Check the data element and domain of the field &2.
      • Ensure the field is a key field in the underlying table.
      • Check if the field is included in the condition table structure in the DDIC.

    Additional Information:

    • Condition tables are used in pricing and condition technique to store condition records.
    • Only fields that are part of the key of the underlying table and supported by SAP can be used in condition tables.
    • Using unsupported fields can cause issues in pricing determination and system inconsistencies.
    • The message W_CB216 is a warning, but it indicates a potential problem that should be corrected.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message W_CB216 Field &2 of condition table &1 is not supported
    Cause Field used in condition table is not supported or invalid for condition determination
    Solution Remove or replace unsupported field; use only supported key fields in condition tables
