  Error Message
  WTY14006: No warranty object exists; no contract assignment possible
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system attempts to assign a contract to a warranty object, but no warranty object exists for the relevant equipment or material. In other words, the system expects a warranty object to be present (which is a prerequisite for contract assignment), but it cannot find one.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  The equipment or material does not have an associated warranty object created in the system.
  The warranty object was not created or linked properly during equipment or material master data creation.
  The warranty object might have been deleted or is inactive.
  The process or transaction expects a warranty object (e.g., during contract creation or assignment), but the prerequisite step of creating the warranty object was skipped or failed.
  
  
  Explanation
  In SAP Warranty Management, a warranty object represents the item (equipment or material) that is covered under warranty. Contracts (warranty contracts) are assigned to these warranty objects to define the terms and conditions of the warranty coverage.
  If the warranty object does not exist, the system cannot assign a contract, hence the error.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check if Warranty Object Exists:
  
  Use transaction IW70 (Create Warranty Object) or IW71 (Change Warranty Object) to verify if the warranty object exists for the equipment or material.
  Alternatively, check the warranty object assignment in the equipment master (transaction IE03) or material master.
  
  
  
  Create Warranty Object:
  
  If the warranty object does not exist, create it using IW70.
  Ensure that the warranty object is correctly linked to the equipment or material.
  
  
  
  Verify Warranty Object Status:
  
  Ensure the warranty object is active and valid.
  Check for any inconsistencies or missing data in the warranty object.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Verify the configuration in Warranty Management customizing (transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warranty Management).
  Ensure that the warranty object creation is properly set up for the relevant equipment/material categories.
  
  
  
  Review Process Flow:
  
  Ensure that the process flow is correct: warranty object creation should precede contract assignment.
  If using automated processes or interfaces, check for errors or missing steps in the data flow.
  
  
  
  Re-assign Contract:
  
  After creating or correcting the warranty object, retry the contract assignment.
