• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP491 - POS ORP: Document & contains no downpayment conditions ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WP491 POS ORP: Document & contains no downpayment conditions
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of downpayment processing in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Financial Accounting (FI) when a document (such as a sales order, billing document, or downpayment request) is expected to contain downpayment conditions but does not.
  Specifically, the system expects that the document includes at least one downpayment condition type (e.g., condition types like A0 for downpayment request, or other custom downpayment condition types) to proceed with downpayment processing. If no such condition is found, the system throws this error.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Creating a downpayment request or invoice without any downpayment condition assigned.
  Processing a billing document or sales order where downpayment conditions are expected but missing.
  Configuration or master data issues where downpayment condition types are not maintained or assigned properly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Types in Pricing Procedure:
  
  Verify that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document or billing document includes the appropriate downpayment condition types.
  Use transaction V/08 to check the pricing procedure and ensure downpayment condition types are included.
  
  
  
  Maintain Downpayment Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that downpayment condition records exist for the relevant customer/material or sales document.
  Use transaction VK11 to create or check condition records for downpayment condition types.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Document or Billing Document:
  
  Review the sales order or billing document to confirm that downpayment conditions are present.
  If missing, adjust the document or pricing procedure to include downpayment conditions.
  
  
  
  Configuration of Downpayment Processing:
  
  Verify the configuration in transaction SPRO under:
  Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Down Payments -> Define Down Payment Types
  Ensure downpayment types and their condition types are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Customer Master and Sales Document Settings:
  
  Confirm that the customer master data and sales document types are set up to allow downpayments.
  Check if the sales document type is configured to allow downpayment requests.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the Document:
  
  If the document was created incorrectly, recreate it ensuring downpayment conditions are included.
  Alternatively, manually add downpayment conditions if possible.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Downpayment Condition Types: These are special pricing conditions used to represent downpayments in sales documents and billing.
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure controls which condition types are applied during document processing.
  Downpayment Processing in SAP: Typically involves creating a downpayment request (billing document type F8), posting the downpayment, and then clearing it against the final invoice.
  Transactions to Check:
  
  VA01/VA02 - Create/Change Sales Order
  VF01 - Create Billing Document
  VK11 - Maintain Condition Records
  V/08 - Pricing Procedure
  SPRO - IMG Configuration
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WP491 POS ORP: Document & contains no downpayment conditions means the system expected downpayment conditions in the document but found none. To fix it, ensure that the pricing procedure includes downpayment condition types, condition records exist, and the sales/billing documents are correctly created with downpayment conditions.
