• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_CAT113 - Payment type &1: Entry category must be 'B' (with logistics data) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_CAT113 Payment type &1: Entry category must be 'B' (with logistics data)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of a payment type in the Returns Management (RMA) or related logistics process. The system expects the Entry Category for the specified payment type to be 'B', which typically stands for a business transaction involving logistics data (e.g., goods movement, delivery, or return delivery).
  If the entry category is not set to 'B', the system cannot correctly process the payment type because it requires logistics data to proceed.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Payment Type &1: The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual payment type code you are using.
  Entry Category: This is a classification in SAP that defines the nature of the transaction entry.  
  'B' Entry Category: Indicates that the transaction involves logistics data (e.g., goods receipt, delivery, return delivery).
  
  In Returns Management or related processes, certain payment types are only valid if the entry category is 'B' because they require logistics data to be processed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Payment Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction for payment types in Returns Management or the relevant module.
  Verify the entry category assigned to the payment type &1.
  Ensure that the entry category is set to 'B' for payment types that require logistics data.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Entry Category:
  
  If the entry category is not 'B', change it to 'B' for the payment type in question.
  This is usually done in the IMG under:
  Logistics Execution -> Returns Management -> Payment Types -> Define Payment Types
  
  Or in the relevant customizing path depending on your SAP version and module.
  
  
  
  Check the Document Flow:
  
  Ensure that the document you are processing has the necessary logistics data (e.g., delivery or return delivery document).
  If logistics data is missing, the system will not accept payment types requiring entry category 'B'.
  
  
  
  Test the Process:
  
  After adjusting the entry category, test the transaction again to confirm the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Entry Categories in SAP define how documents are processed and what data is required.
  Payment types in Returns Management are linked to specific business processes and must be configured correctly.
  This error is common when customizing or extending payment types or when integrating logistics and financial processes.
  Always ensure that the payment type and entry category align with the business process requirements.
