    Error Message

    WX482: Combination of class type / class not defined


    Cause

    This error occurs when you try to create or assign a class with a class type that is not defined or allowed in the system. In SAP, class types are predefined categories that determine the behavior and usage of classes (e.g., 001 for Material Class, 300 for Document Class, etc.). If the system does not recognize the combination of the class type and the class you are trying to use, it throws this error.

    Common causes include:

    • The class type you are trying to use is not maintained or activated in the system.
    • The class type and class combination is invalid or inconsistent.
    • Missing or incorrect configuration in the classification system.
    • Attempting to assign a class type that is not relevant for the object or application area.

    Solution

    To resolve this error, follow these steps:

    1. Check Class Type Configuration:

      • Go to transaction CL02 or CL03 to check the class and its type.
      • Verify that the class type exists and is correctly maintained.
    2. Maintain Class Types:

      • Use transaction CL02 or CL24N to check the class.
      • Use transaction SPRO to navigate to:
        Logistics - General -> Classification System -> Basic Settings -> Define Class Types
      • Ensure the class type you want to use is defined and active.
    3. Check Object and Class Type Compatibility:

      • Verify that the class type is valid for the object or application area you are working with.
      • For example, material classes should have class type 001, document classes 300, etc.
    4. Check Authorization and System Settings:

      • Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to create or assign classes.
      • Check if any recent system changes or transports have affected classification settings.
    5. Recreate or Correct the Class:

      • If the class is corrupted or incorrectly created, consider recreating it with the correct class type.
