Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sales Orders work center.
  2. Go to the Sales Orders view.
  3. Search for: ABC (ABC represents the ID of the Sales Order).
  4. Click on Edit button.
  5. The following error message appears: Item AA: No suitable template found for entitlement XYZ, distribution chain XX.

Cause

Once you add an entitlement of Item Group ETCS – Entitlements in Contract Sales, a related Contract Template is determined and a contract automatically created when you release the sales order.

It means that, it's necessary to create a Contract Template with the entitlement of Item Group ETCS.

Resolution

  1. Go to the Sales Orders work center.
  2. Go to the Contract Templates view.
  3. Click on New button, then Contract Template. 
  4. In the General tab:
  • Add the Entitlement in the field: Sold via Entitlement
  • Add the Sales Unit and Distribution Channel.

Note that, this Item Group ETCS is not supported in the Items tab of Contract Template
