• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /DSD/HH142 - Distance type &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /DSD/HH142 Distance type &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of the SAP Direct Store Delivery (DSD) module, particularly when dealing with distance calculations or logistics planning. This error indicates that the system is trying to reference a distance type that has not been defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The distance type referenced in the error message (&1) has not been configured in the system.
  Incorrect Input: The distance type may have been incorrectly entered in the transaction or configuration settings.
  Transport Issues: If the system has recently undergone a transport of configuration or data, the distance type may not have been included or properly activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for distance types in the SAP system. This is typically found under the DSD or logistics configuration sections.
  Ensure that the distance type you are trying to use is defined and active.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Distance Type:
  
  If the distance type does not exist, you may need to create it. This can usually be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  If it exists but is not configured correctly, modify the settings to ensure it meets the required specifications.
  
  
  
  Verify Input:
  
  Double-check the input where the distance type is being referenced. Ensure that it matches the defined distance types in the system.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the error occurred after a transport, verify that all necessary objects related to distance types were included in the transport request.
  If needed, re-transport the missing configurations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring distance types in your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO (to access the configuration settings) or SE11 (to check the database table for distance types).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify configuration settings in the SAP system.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
