Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB247 - Scale basis &1 must be greater than predecessor &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB247 Scale basis &1 must be greater than predecessor &2
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP when defining scales (e.g., condition scales in pricing or other scale-dependent data) where the scale basis values are not in strictly increasing order. Specifically, the current scale basis value (&1) is less than or equal to the previous scale basis value (&2).
  In SAP, when you maintain scales (for example, quantity scales in pricing conditions), the scale basis values must be entered in ascending order. This ensures that the system can correctly determine which scale interval applies for a given quantity or value.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Scale basis refers to the value that defines the start of a scale interval (e.g., quantity or amount).
  The system expects each subsequent scale basis to be greater than the previous one.
  If you enter a scale basis that is less than or equal to the previous scale basis, SAP raises this warning to prevent incorrect scale intervals.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the scale entries you have maintained.
  Ensure that each scale basis value is strictly greater than the previous one.
  Correct the scale basis values so that they are in ascending order.
  Save the data again.
  
  
  Example:
  If you have scale basis values like:
  
  
  
  Scale Basis
  Condition Value
  
  
  
  
  10
  100
  
  
  10
  90
  
  
  20
  80
  
  
  
  You need to correct it to:
  
  
  
  Scale Basis
  Condition Value
  
  
  
  
  10
  100
  
  
  15
  90
  
  
  20
  80
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in pricing condition records maintenance (transaction codes like VK11, VK12, VK13).
  It can also appear in other scale maintenance scenarios such as output determination, tax scales, or any other configuration involving scales.
  The message number is W_CB247, where "W" indicates a warning.
  If you want to suppress the warning (not recommended), you can adjust message control, but it's better to fix the data.
