• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB480 - CID &1 already used (condition record of contract &2) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB480 CID &1 already used (condition record of contract &2)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the Condition ID (CID) you are trying to assign or create is already in use for the specified contract (&2). In other words, the system has detected a duplicate condition record for the same contract and condition ID.
  
  CID &1: The Condition ID that is already assigned.
  Contract &2: The contract number where this condition record already exists.
  
  This typically happens when you try to create or maintain condition records for contracts and inadvertently enter a condition ID that has already been assigned to that contract.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During creation or maintenance of condition records in contract management (e.g., in SAP Sales and Distribution or SAP Contract Management).
  When trying to assign a condition type or condition ID that must be unique per contract but is duplicated.
  Possibly during mass upload or data migration if duplicate entries exist.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Existing Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction codes like MEK1/MEK2/MEK3 (for purchasing conditions) or the relevant contract condition maintenance transaction.
  Display the condition records for the contract &2 and verify if the condition ID &1 is already assigned.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Entries:
  
  If the condition record already exists, do not create a new one with the same CID for the same contract.
  Instead, modify the existing condition record if changes are needed.
  
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Duplicates:
  
  If duplicates exist due to data errors, delete or correct the redundant condition records.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Verify if the condition type or condition ID is set to be unique per contract in the configuration.
  Adjust settings if business requirements allow multiple entries.
  
  
  
  Data Upload / Interface Checks:
  
  If the error occurs during data upload, check the source data for duplicates.
  Cleanse the data before upload.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This is a warning message (W_), so the system allows you to continue but warns about the duplicate.
  It is important to maintain unique condition records per contract to avoid pricing or condition determination conflicts.
  The message is part of the condition technique and contract management logic in SAP.
