  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB223 - No billing docs found for cond. contract &1 for subsequent processing ?

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


    SAP Error Message:

    W_CB223 No billing docs found for cond. contract &1 for subsequent processing


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message occurs in the context of Condition Contracts (often used in SAP SD for rebate agreements, condition contracts, or similar billing scenarios). The system is trying to perform subsequent processing (such as billing document creation, settlement, or rebate processing) for a particular condition contract, but it cannot find any billing documents linked to that contract.

    In other words:
    The system expects that there should be billing documents created and assigned to the condition contract number &1 (where &1 is the contract number), but none are found. This could be because:

    • No billing documents have been created yet for the contract.
    • Billing documents exist but are not correctly linked to the condition contract.
    • The billing documents were deleted or not yet processed.
    • The condition contract is new or incomplete.
    • There is a configuration or master data issue preventing linkage.

    When does this occur?

    • During subsequent processing steps such as:
      • Rebate settlement runs
      • Condition contract billing runs
      • Reporting or analysis of condition contract billing
    • When the system tries to find billing documents for a contract to calculate rebates or settlements.

    Possible Causes:

    1. No billing documents created yet: The contract is new or no sales/billing documents have been generated that reference the contract.
    2. Billing documents not linked to the contract: The sales documents or billing documents do not have the condition contract number assigned.
    3. Incorrect or missing master data: The condition contract or sales documents are not properly maintained.
    4. Data inconsistency: Billing documents exist but are not recognized due to data inconsistencies or missing references.
    5. Timing issue: The billing documents are created after the settlement run or subsequent processing is executed.

    Solutions / Actions to Take:

    1. Check if billing documents exist for the contract:

      • Use transaction VF03 (Display Billing Document) or VA03 (Display Sales Order) to verify if billing documents exist and are linked to the condition contract.
      • Use reports or tables like VBRK/VBRP (billing header/item) and check the field for condition contract number.
    2. Verify linkage between billing documents and condition contract:

      • Ensure that the billing documents have the condition contract number assigned in the relevant fields (e.g., in the sales order or billing document header/item).
      • Check the sales order or delivery documents to confirm the contract number is maintained.
    3. Create billing documents if missing:

      • If no billing documents exist, create the necessary billing documents for the sales orders referencing the condition contract.
    4. Check master data and configuration:

      • Verify the condition contract master data is complete and active.
      • Check the rebate or condition contract configuration in SD (e.g., condition types, settlement profiles).
    5. Run subsequent processing after billing documents are created:

      • Ensure that subsequent processing (rebate settlement, billing runs) is executed only after billing documents exist.
    6. Check for data inconsistencies:

      • Run consistency checks or use SAP standard reports to identify missing links or inconsistencies.

    Related Information:

    • Condition Contract: A special type of contract used in SAP SD to manage rebates, discounts, or special pricing agreements.
    • Subsequent Processing: Refers to processes like rebate settlement, billing runs, or contract settlement that happen after initial sales/billing.
    • Relevant Transactions:
      • WVK1 / WVK2 / WVK3: Create/Change/Display Condition Contract
      • VBRP / VBRK: Billing document tables
      • SD Rebate Settlement: Transactions like WVK2 or settlement runs in SD.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes related to condition contracts and rebate processing for known issues.
