• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB349 - Successor Condition Contract creation is not supported for type &1 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB349 Successor Condition Contract creation is not supported for type &1
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to create a Successor Condition Contract for a contract type that does not support successor condition contracts. In SAP Contract Management (usually in the context of SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP Sales and Distribution), certain contract types are configured to allow or disallow successor condition contracts.
  
  The system checks the contract type configuration.
  If the contract type does not allow successor condition contracts, the system issues this warning.
  The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the contract type you are trying to use.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Successor Condition Contract: This is a contract that follows or replaces a previous contract, often used in scenarios where contracts are extended or renewed.
  Not all contract types are designed to support this functionality.
  The system enforces this to maintain data integrity and business process consistency.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Contract Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? SAP Reference IMG ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Contract Management ? Define Contract Types.
  Find the contract type you are using.
  Verify if the contract type is configured to allow successor condition contracts.
  
  
  
  Modify Contract Type Settings (if appropriate):
  
  If business requirements allow, enable the successor condition contract option for the contract type.
  This might involve setting a flag or parameter that permits successor contracts.
  
  
  
  Use a Supported Contract Type:
  
  If the current contract type should not support successor contracts, then create the successor condition contract using a different contract type that supports this feature.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm with business users whether successor condition contracts are needed for this contract type.
  Adjust business processes or contract types accordingly.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W_), so it may not stop the process but indicates a potential issue.
  The exact configuration path and field names may vary depending on your SAP version.
  Always test changes in a development or quality system before transporting to production.
  Consult SAP documentation or OSS notes if you need more detailed guidance.
