  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB412 - Condition contract type &1 is blocked ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W_CB412 Condition contract type &1 is blocked


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs when you try to create or process a condition contract in SAP, but the condition contract type you are using is currently blocked. The blocking of a condition contract type means that the system does not allow any new contracts or changes to contracts of this type until the block is removed.

    The block can be set for various reasons, such as:

    • The contract type is under maintenance or review.
    • The contract type is obsolete or no longer in use.
    • Administrative decision to temporarily prevent usage of this contract type.
    • System configuration or authorization restrictions.

    Solution:

    To resolve this warning, you need to unblock the condition contract type or use a different contract type that is not blocked.

    Steps to unblock the condition contract type:

    1. Check the status of the condition contract type:

      • Use transaction WBC_CONTRACT_TYPE or navigate via IMG: SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Condition Contracts -> Define Condition Contract Types
      • Find the relevant contract type &1 (replace &1 with the actual contract type code).
    2. Remove the block:

      • In the contract type settings, check if there is a flag or indicator that marks the contract type as blocked.
      • Remove or deactivate the block flag.
    3. Save the changes.

    4. Test again:

      • Try to create or process the condition contract again to verify that the warning no longer appears.

    Additional Information:

    • Condition Contract Types are used in SAP to define the characteristics and behavior of condition contracts, which are agreements with customers or vendors that include pricing conditions valid for a certain period.
    • Blocking a contract type is a control mechanism to prevent usage of certain contract types that may be outdated or under revision.
    • If you do not have authorization to change contract type settings, contact your SAP SD or system administrator.
    • Always ensure that unblocking a contract type aligns with your business processes and policies.
