• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2B804 - No copy control for sales document type &1 ?

  The SAP error message WB2B804 indicates that there is no copy control defined for the specified sales document type. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create a sales document (like a sales order or a quotation) based on another document type, and the system cannot find the necessary copy control settings to facilitate this process.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the absence of copy control settings between the source document type and the target document type in the SAP system. Copy control settings define how data is transferred from one document type to another, and if these settings are not configured, the system will not allow the creation of the new document.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to define the copy control settings for the relevant sales document types. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Copy Control Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: 
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Copy Control -> Define Copy Control for Sales Documents
  
  
  
  
  Select the Source and Target Document Types:
  
  In the copy control configuration screen, you will see a list of existing copy control settings.
  Identify the source document type (the document you are copying from) and the target document type (the document you are trying to create).
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Copy Control Settings:
  
  If there are no existing settings for the combination of document types, you will need to create a new entry.
  Click on "New Entries" to define the copy control settings.
  Specify the source and target document types, and configure the necessary fields such as:
  
  Field Mapping: Define how fields from the source document map to the target document.
  Data Transfer: Specify which data should be transferred (e.g., header data, item data).
  Copying Requirements: Set any conditions that must be met for the copy to occur.
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Your Changes:
  
  After configuring the copy control settings, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
