    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message W_CB232: "Neither eligible partner nor list is specified" including its cause, solution, and related information.


    SAP Error Message: W_CB232

    Text: Neither eligible partner nor list is specified


    Cause

    This warning message typically occurs in the context of SAP Credit Management (FI-AR-CR) or Credit Control processes, especially when dealing with credit checks or partner determination in credit management.

    The system expects either:

    • An eligible partner (a business partner or customer who is authorized or relevant for the credit check), or
    • A list of eligible partners (a predefined list or group of partners)

    to be specified for the credit check or partner determination procedure.

    If neither is specified, the system cannot proceed with the credit check or partner determination, hence it issues this warning.


    When does it occur?

    • During credit checks in sales order processing or billing.
    • When the system tries to determine the credit control area or partner for credit management but finds no eligible partner or list defined.
    • In partner determination procedures related to credit management.

    Solution

    1. Check Partner Determination Procedure:

      • Verify the partner determination procedure in the relevant transaction (e.g., sales order, billing).
      • Ensure that the partner function relevant for credit management is correctly assigned and maintained.
    2. Maintain Eligible Partners or Lists:

      • Go to the credit management customizing (transaction SPRO ? Financial Supply Chain Management ? Credit Management ? Credit Control ? Define Eligible Partners or Partner Lists).
      • Define and assign eligible partners or partner lists for the credit control area or credit check procedure.
    3. Check Credit Control Area Settings:

      • Verify that the credit control area is correctly assigned to the company code and that partner determination is properly configured.
    4. Review Master Data:

      • Check the customer master data to ensure that the partner functions and credit control area assignments are correct.
    5. Adjust Credit Check Configuration:

      • If the credit check is triggered via a specific credit check indicator or procedure, ensure that the configuration includes the necessary partner or partner list.
