• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_CAT014 - Neither item &1 nor main item &2 is statistical ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRMA_CAT014: Neither item &1 nor main item &2 is statistical
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Warranty Management or Quality Management when processing warranty claims or quality notifications involving catalog items. The message indicates that neither the referenced item (&1) nor the main item (&2) is marked as statistical in the system.
  In SAP, statistical items are used in catalogs or bills of materials (BOMs) to represent items that do not affect the quantity or cost calculations but are important for documentation or classification purposes. When certain processes expect at least one of the items involved to be statistical (for example, to allow grouping or categorization), and none are marked as such, this error is triggered.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During warranty claim processing or catalog item selection.
  When the system expects a statistical item in the catalog or BOM but finds none.
  Possibly during the creation or processing of a warranty claim or quality notification involving catalog items.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Catalog Items:
  
  Go to the catalog or BOM where the items &1 and &2 are defined.
  Verify the item properties and check if either item is marked as statistical.
  
  
  
  Mark the Appropriate Item as Statistical:
  
  If neither item is statistical but the process requires it, update the item master data or catalog entry to mark one of the items as statistical.
  This is usually done in the catalog or BOM maintenance transaction (e.g., transaction CS02 for BOMs or catalog maintenance transactions).
  
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm if the business process or configuration expects statistical items.
  If the process should not require statistical items, check the configuration or customization settings related to warranty claims or catalog processing.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:

  Related Information:
  
  Statistical Items in BOMs/Catalogs: Statistical items are used for documentation and do not affect cost or quantity calculations.

  Transaction Codes:
  
  CS02 - Change BOM (to mark items as statistical)
  Warranty claim processing transactions (e.g., IW70, IW71)
  
  
  SAP Help: Look for documentation on warranty claim processing and catalog item configuration.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Neither the item nor the main item is marked as statistical, but the process requires at least one statistical item.
  Solution: Mark one of the items as statistical in the catalog or BOM.
  Check: Catalog item settings, BOM item properties, and warranty claim configuration.
