• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB249 - Maximum condition value changed from &1 to &2 due to currency change ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message W_CB249:
  
  SAP Message:
  W_CB249 - Maximum condition value changed from &1 to &2 due to currency change
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs during pricing or condition maintenance in SAP when a condition record has a maximum condition value defined in one currency, but the system detects a currency change (for example, when the document currency differs from the condition currency). As a result, the system automatically adjusts the maximum condition value to reflect the new currency based on the current exchange rate.
  In other words, the maximum condition value you originally entered is converted to another currency, and the system informs you that the value has been changed accordingly.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Maximum condition value: This is a limit set on a condition (e.g., discount, surcharge) that restricts the maximum amount or percentage applicable.
  Currency change: Happens when the pricing condition is applied in a document with a different currency than the one in which the condition record was maintained.
  The system uses exchange rates to convert the maximum condition value to the document currency.
  The message is a warning (W), not an error, so processing continues but the user is informed about the change.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  Review the converted value: Check if the adjusted maximum condition value (&2) is acceptable for your pricing scenario.
  Adjust condition records if necessary:  
  
  If the converted maximum condition value is not appropriate, consider maintaining condition records in the relevant currencies.
  Alternatively, adjust the maximum condition value in the condition record to better suit the currency conversion.
  
  
  Check exchange rates:  
  
  Verify that the exchange rates used for conversion are correct and up to date.
  
  
  Ignore if acceptable:  
  
  Since this is a warning, if the adjusted value is acceptable, you can proceed without changes.
  
  
  Customizing:  
  
  If you want to suppress this warning, you can adjust message control settings, but this is generally not recommended as it informs about important currency-related changes.
