- No controlling item type for item type &/item type group & in Customizing ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message: SAP Error Message: WTY172 No controlling item type for item type & / item type group & in Customizing
Cause: This error occurs during the processing of a goods movement or invoice verification when the system tries to determine the controlling item type for a particular material document item type or item type group but cannot find a corresponding entry in the Customizing settings. In other words, the system expects a mapping between the material document item type (or item type group) and a controlling item type (used for controlling/inventory valuation purposes), but this mapping is missing in the configuration. When does it occur? During invoice verification or goods receipt posting. When the system tries to update controlling documents (e.g., CO-PA, internal orders, cost centers) and needs the controlling item type. When the item type or item type group is not properly maintained in the Customizing for controlling integration.
