• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_CAT133 - Event type linkage not properly customized ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRMA_CAT133: Event type linkage not properly customized
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a return or warranty event, but the linkage between the event type and the corresponding customizing settings is missing or incomplete. Specifically, the event type used in the return or warranty process is not properly linked to the required customizing entries in the system.
  In SAP Warranty Management (often part of SAP Customer Service or SAP Returns Management), event types represent different business events (e.g., return, repair, replacement). These event types must be linked to specific customizing settings that define how the system handles these events, such as determination of processes, notifications, or follow-up actions.
  If this linkage is missing or incorrectly maintained, the system cannot proceed and throws the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Event Type Customizing:
  
  Go to the customizing path for Warranty Management or Returns Management.
  For example, in SAP GUI, navigate to:
  SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Returns Management -> Basic Settings -> Define Event Types
  or
  SPRO -> Customer Service -> Warranty Management -> Basic Settings -> Define Event Types
  
  Verify that the event type in question is defined.
  
  
  
  Check Linkage of Event Type:
  
  Ensure that the event type is properly linked to the relevant customizing objects.
  This may include linkage to:
  
  Return order types
  Notification types
  Process types
  Warranty claim types
  
  
  The exact linkage depends on the business process and SAP module configuration.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Linkages:
  
  If the linkage is missing, maintain it by assigning the event type to the required customizing entries.
  For example, assign the event type to the return order type or warranty claim type.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes, custom code or user exits may expect certain event type linkages.
  Review any custom developments related to event type processing.
  
  
  
  Test the Process:
  
  After maintaining the customizing, test the return or warranty process again to confirm the error is resolved.
