  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI023 - The "Provision" flag is not allowed for condition type &1 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRMA_FI023 The "Provision" flag is not allowed for condition type &1


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to set the "Provision" indicator (flag) for a condition type that is not configured to allow provisions in the system. In SAP, certain condition types are allowed to be marked as provisions (e.g., for accruals or reserves), but others are not. If you attempt to use the "Provision" flag on a condition type that does not support it, the system throws this error.


    Explanation:

    • The "Provision" flag is used in SAP to indicate that a condition type is related to provisions (accruals or reserves).
    • Not all condition types are designed to be used as provisions.
    • The system checks the configuration of the condition type in the pricing procedure or condition master data.
    • If the condition type is not maintained to allow provisions, the system prevents you from setting this flag.

    Solution:

    1. Check the condition type configuration:

      • Go to transaction SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types.
      • Select the condition type mentioned in the error message (the placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual condition type).
      • Verify if the condition type is configured to allow provisions.
    2. Adjust the condition type settings:

      • If the business process requires the condition type to be used as a provision, you need to enable the "Provision" flag in the condition type configuration.
      • This might involve setting the appropriate indicator or flag in the condition type master data or pricing procedure.
    3. If the condition type should not be used as a provision:

      • Remove the "Provision" flag from the document or process where it is being set.
      • Review the process or customization that attempts to set this flag and correct it.
    4. Check related customizing:

      • Sometimes, the error can also be related to the integration between SD (Sales and Distribution) and FI (Financial Accounting) or CO (Controlling) modules.
      • Ensure that the condition type is correctly mapped and allowed in the relevant financial postings.
