  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP420 - Condition type & does not exist ?

    The SAP error message:

    WP420 Condition type & does not exist

    typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition technique in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM) modules.


    Cause:

    • The system is trying to access or use a condition type that is not defined in the system.
    • This can happen if:
      • The condition type was deleted or never created.
      • The condition type is misspelled or incorrectly referenced in the pricing procedure or condition records.
      • The pricing procedure assigned to the document or transaction includes a condition type that does not exist in the system.
      • The condition type is not assigned to the relevant access sequence or condition tables.

    Solution:

    1. Check the condition type:

      • Go to transaction V/06 (Maintain Condition Types).
      • Verify if the condition type mentioned in the error message exists.
      • If it does not exist, create it or correct the reference.
    2. Check the pricing procedure:

      • Use transaction V/08 (Maintain Pricing Procedures).
      • Verify that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document or purchasing document contains valid condition types.
      • Remove or replace any invalid or non-existent condition types.
    3. Check condition records:

      • Use transaction VK11 or MEK1 to maintain condition records.
      • Ensure that condition records are maintained for valid condition types.
    4. Check access sequences:

      • Use transaction V/07 to check access sequences.
      • Make sure the condition type is assigned to a valid access sequence.
    5. Check configuration:

      • Verify that the pricing procedure is correctly assigned to the sales area or purchasing document type.
      • Use transaction V/08 or OMJJ (for purchasing) to check assignments.
    6. Correct the document or master data:

      • If the error occurs during document processing, check if the document references a wrong or obsolete condition type.
      • Correct the document or master data accordingly.
