  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_RETURN004 - No customizing was created for sales document type &1 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_RETURN004 No customizing was created for sales document type &1


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to process a sales document type that has not been properly configured (customized) in the system. Specifically, the sales document type referenced by &1 (which will be replaced by the actual sales document type code in the message) does not have the necessary customizing settings in the relevant IMG (Implementation Guide) node.

    In other words, the system expects certain configuration entries for the sales document type (such as item categories, schedule line categories, partner determination, pricing procedures, etc.), but it cannot find any because the customizing has not been done or is incomplete.


    Common Scenarios:

    • Creating or processing a sales order, delivery, billing document, or other sales-related documents with a sales document type that is not configured.
    • Copying or referencing a sales document type that exists in a development or test system but not in the current system.
    • Transport issues where customizing for sales document types was not transported properly.
    • Custom sales document types created but missing key configuration steps.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check Sales Document Type Configuration:

      • Go to transaction SPRO ?
        Sales and Distribution ?
        Sales ?
        Sales Documents ?
        Sales Document Header ?
        Define Sales Document Types
      • Verify that the sales document type &1 exists.
    2. Complete Required Customizing:

      • Ensure that all necessary customizing for the sales document type is done, including:
        • Item categories assigned to the sales document type.
        • Schedule line categories.
        • Partner determination procedures.
        • Pricing procedures.
        • Copy control settings (if relevant).
      • These are usually found under:
        • Sales Document ? Item Categories
        • Sales Document ? Schedule Line Categories
        • Partner Determination
        • Pricing
    3. Transport Check:

      • If the sales document type was recently created or changed in another system, check if the customizing transport was imported correctly.
      • Re-import the transport if necessary.
    4. Use Standard Sales Document Types:

      • If a custom sales document type is not required, use a standard SAP sales document type that is already configured.
    5. Debugging / Logs:

      • If unsure where the error occurs, check the program or user exit where the error is raised.
      • Use transaction SE91 to look up message class WZRE_RETURN and message number 004 for more details.
      • Debug the sales document processing to see at which point the system checks for customizing.

    Additional Information:

    • Message Class: WZRE_RETURN
    • Message Number: 004
    • Typical Modules: SD (Sales and Distribution)
    • Related Transactions: VA01 (Create Sales Order), VL01N (Create Delivery), VF01 (Create Billing Document)

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Missing or incomplete customizing for the sales document type referenced.
    Effect System cannot process the sales document type, resulting in the error message.
    Solution Define and complete customizing for the sales document type in SPRO.
