• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB472 - Invalid request; Key fields not requested. Contract &1 and Condition &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB472 Invalid request; Key fields not requested. Contract &1 and Condition &2
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when a request is made to access or process a condition record (pricing condition) in a contract, but the key fields required to uniquely identify the condition record have not been requested or specified in the selection criteria.
  In SAP Pricing or Contract Management, condition records are identified by a combination of key fields (such as contract number, condition type, item number, etc.). If these key fields are missing or not included in the request, the system cannot uniquely identify the condition record, leading to this warning.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Contract &1: This placeholder is replaced by the actual contract number involved.
  Condition &2: This placeholder is replaced by the condition type or condition record number.
  
  The system expects that when you request or manipulate condition records related to a contract, you must specify all necessary key fields to avoid ambiguity.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When reading or updating condition records via function modules or BAPIs.
  When using pricing or contract APIs that require key fields.
  When custom developments or user exits try to access condition records without specifying all key fields.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Request Parameters:
  
  Ensure that all mandatory key fields for the condition record are included in the request.
  For example, if you are calling a function module or BAPI, verify that the input structure contains all required key fields such as contract number, condition type, item number, etc.
  
  
  
  Review the Code or Configuration:
  
  If this occurs in a custom program or enhancement, debug and check which fields are being passed.
  Add missing key fields to the selection or request parameters.
  
  
  
  Use Standard SAP Tools:
  
  Use transaction VK13 (Display Condition) or ME33K (Display Contract) to verify the condition records and their key fields.
  Check the condition tables and access sequences to understand which fields are mandatory.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, this warning can be related to known issues or patches. Check SAP Notes for any relevant corrections.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Message Class: CB4 (Condition Management)
  Transaction Codes: ME33K (Display Contract), ME32K (Change Contract), VK13 (Display Pricing Condition)
  Function Modules: e.g., CONTRACT_CONDITION_READ, CONTRACT_CONDITION_UPDATE
  SAP Help: Look for documentation on condition records and contract management.
  Debugging: Use debugging to trace where the request is formed and which fields are missing.
  
  
  Summary:
  The warning W_CB472 indicates that a request to access or manipulate a contract condition record is missing key identifying fields. To resolve it, ensure that all necessary key fields are included in the request to uniquely identify the condition record.
