• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_CON013 - Contract &1 is not OTB-compulsory, so it does not have an intern. apport. ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PRC_CON013: Contract &1 is not OTB-compulsory, so it does not have an intern. apport.
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when a contract is expected to have an internal apportioned value (intern. apport.) because it is marked as OTB-compulsory (Open-to-Buy compulsory), but the contract in question is not flagged as OTB-compulsory. 
  
  OTB (Open-to-Buy) is a planning and budgeting concept used in retail and procurement to control purchasing budgets.
  If a contract is not set as OTB-compulsory, the system does not generate or expect internal apportioned values for it.
  The error typically arises during processes where the system tries to access or process internal apportioned values for a contract that is not OTB-compulsory.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During contract processing, budgeting, or planning activities where internal apportioned values are relevant.
  When the system expects internal apportioned values for a contract but finds none because the contract is not flagged as OTB-compulsory.
  Possibly during release, confirmation, or budgeting steps in contract management.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Contract Settings:
  
  Verify if the contract should be OTB-compulsory.
  If yes, update the contract master data to mark it as OTB-compulsory.
  
  This is usually done in the contract header or item data, depending on the SAP module.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Process Logic:
  
  If the contract is correctly not OTB-compulsory, ensure that the process or program does not expect internal apportioned values for this contract.
  This might require customizing or adjusting the logic in the relevant SAP application or report.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Check if there is inconsistent data where the contract is partially flagged or referenced incorrectly.
  Run consistency checks or data validation reports.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes / Documentation:
  
  Look for SAP Notes related to WRF_PRC_CON013 for any patches or known issues.
  Review module-specific documentation for OTB and contract management.
