How To Fix WTADDI415 - Procedure for additionals &2 is not allowed for additional &1


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: WTADDI - Additionals: Messages

  • Message number: 415

  • Message text: Procedure for additionals &2 is not allowed for additional &1

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You are creating <GL:additional>additionals</>. The combination of
    additional &V1& and <GL:procedure_for_additionals>procedure for
    additionals</> &V2& that you have entered is not permitted.
    The system determined the <GL:material_group>material group</> to which
    the additional belongs and then checked whether the procedure for
    additionals which you entered is allowed with this material group. This
    was not the case.
    This check is run to prevent illogical procedures being defined for an
    additional, as for example:
    Requesting a vendor to affix a shelf-edge label. This is usually
    carried out by the stores themselves.
    Requesting a store to sew garment care labels into T-shirts.

    How to fix this error?

    Check whether additional &V1& really is to be affixed to the
    merchandise using the procedure you entered (&V2&).
    If you do wish to use this combination, you will need to maintain the
    relevant assignment in Customizing first.

    1. Incorrect configuration in the wage type catalog: The procedure for additionals is not maintained or incorrectly maintained for the additional wage type.
