  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB291 - Time interval &1 to &2 does not include valid conditions ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W_CB291 Time interval &1 to &2 does not include valid conditions


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs in SAP when a pricing or condition record is being processed, and the specified time interval (validity period) does not contain any valid condition records. In other words, the system is checking for condition records that should be valid within the given date range, but none are found.

    This typically happens in the context of pricing procedures, condition techniques, or condition records maintenance, where the system expects at least one valid condition record for the specified time interval but finds none.


    When does it occur?

    • During pricing or condition record determination.
    • When the system tries to find condition records valid for a given date range but fails.
    • When maintaining or copying condition records with validity periods.
    • When a sales document or pricing procedure references condition records that are not valid for the document date.

    Solution:

    1. Check Condition Records Validity:

      • Verify that condition records exist for the relevant condition type.
      • Ensure that the validity dates of the condition records cover the time interval specified in the error message.
      • Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition Records) or VK12 (Change Condition Records) to check and adjust validity periods.
    2. Adjust Validity Periods:

      • If no condition records exist for the time interval, create or extend condition records to cover the required dates.
      • Avoid gaps in validity periods if continuous pricing is required.
    3. Check Pricing Procedure and Condition Technique:

      • Confirm that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document or transaction includes the relevant condition types.
      • Ensure that the condition types are correctly maintained in the condition technique and that access sequences are properly set up.
    4. Document Date and Condition Records:

      • Make sure the document date (e.g., sales order date) falls within the validity period of the condition records.
      • If the document date is outside the validity period, either adjust the document date or create condition records valid for that date.
    5. Review Customizing:

      • Check if any custom logic or user exits affect condition determination and validity checks.
      • Debug or analyze pricing routines if necessary.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is a warning (W), not an error, so processing may continue but with potential pricing issues.
    • It is important to maintain condition records properly to avoid pricing inconsistencies.
    • The placeholders &1 and &2 in the message represent the start and end dates of the time interval being checked.
    • This message is often seen in SD (Sales and Distribution) module during pricing or condition record maintenance.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause No valid condition records found for the specified time interval.
    Effect Pricing or condition determination may fail or be incomplete for the given date range.
    Solution Create or adjust condition records to cover the required validity period.
    Transactions VK12, VK13 (Condition Records), VA01/VA02 (Sales Order), SPRO (Customizing)
