• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI041 - FI update condition type &1 is statistical in schema &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_FI041 FI update condition type &1 is statistical in schema &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during the FI (Financial Accounting) update process in SAP when a condition type used in the pricing or settlement schema is defined as statistical but is being processed in a context where a posting (FI update) is expected.
  
  Condition type &1: This is the condition type that is flagged as statistical.
  Schema &2: This is the pricing or settlement schema where the condition type is used.
  
  Statistical condition types are used for informational or reporting purposes only and do not generate accounting postings. If such a condition type is included in a schema that triggers FI postings, the system raises this error because it cannot post statistical conditions to FI.
  
  Why does this happen?
  
  The condition type is marked as statistical in the condition master data (transaction VK11/VK12 or relevant customizing).
  The pricing or settlement schema attempts to post this condition type to FI.
  Since statistical conditions do not generate accounting entries, the system blocks the posting and throws this error.
  
  
  How to check:
  
  
  Check the condition type settings:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types.
  Find the condition type &1.
  Check if the "Statistical" indicator is set.
  
  
  
  Check the schema:
  
  Go to transaction V/08 (Pricing Procedure) or the relevant schema maintenance transaction.
  Check if the condition type &1 is included in the schema &2.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  If the condition type should post to FI:
  
  Remove the "Statistical" indicator from the condition type.
  This will allow the condition type to generate accounting postings.
  Note: Changing this setting affects all uses of this condition type.
  
  
  
  If the condition type is meant to be statistical:
  
  Remove the condition type from the pricing or settlement schema that triggers FI postings.
  Alternatively, use a different schema or condition type that is not statistical for FI postings.
  
  
  
  Adjust the schema logic:
  
  Modify the schema &2 to exclude statistical condition types from FI update steps.
  This may involve customizing the schema to skip statistical conditions during posting.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Statistical condition types are often used for informational pricing elements like surcharges, discounts, or rebates that do not affect accounting.
  This error is common in scenarios involving rebate settlements, pricing procedures, or billing document postings.
  Always coordinate changes with FI and SD/MM teams to ensure consistency.
  Test changes in a development or quality system before moving to production.
