  Error Message
  WTY14003: Assignment not allowed because no contract document exists
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Warranty Management (usually in the context of processing warranty claims or service orders) when you try to assign or link a warranty-related document (such as a warranty claim or service order) to an object (like a material, equipment, or customer) for which no valid contract document exists in the system.
  In other words, the system expects a valid contract (warranty contract, service contract, or similar) to be present before allowing the assignment or processing of warranty claims or service orders. If no such contract is found, the system blocks the assignment to ensure that warranty services are only provided under valid contractual agreements.
  
  Typical Scenarios
  
  Creating or processing a warranty claim for equipment or material that does not have an active warranty contract.
  Attempting to assign a service order to a contract that has expired or was never created.
  Missing or incomplete contract data in the system for the relevant customer or equipment.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Contract Existence:
  
  Verify if a valid warranty or service contract exists for the equipment/material/customer in question.
  Use transaction codes like IW32 (Change Order), IW33 (Display Order), or warranty-specific transactions to check contract assignments.
  Check contract validity dates to ensure the contract is active.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Contract:
  
  If no contract exists, create a new warranty or service contract for the relevant object.
  Use transaction codes such as VA41 (Create Contract) or warranty-specific contract creation transactions.
  Ensure the contract covers the relevant material/equipment and customer.
  
  
  
  Check Contract Status:
  
  Ensure the contract is not blocked, expired, or incomplete.
  Update or extend the contract validity if necessary.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  Verify that the system settings for warranty management and contract assignment are correctly maintained.
  Check customizing settings in SPRO under Warranty Management or Service Management to ensure contract determination procedures are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure master data (equipment master, material master, customer master) is correctly maintained and linked to contracts.
  Check for any inconsistencies or missing links between equipment/material and contracts.
