Features

This operation triggers the creation of a new subscriber range table or changes an existing range table by modifying a revision or inserting a revision:

If the subscriber range table does not exist, it is created:
- The new subscriber range table must include an initial revision specifying a range and the corresponding output values
- Reference date is ignored
If the subscriber range table already exists, it is modified:
- If the operation contains some rows, the existing rows are deleted and the new ones are inserted in the subscriber range table
- The SAP CC system reorganizes the existing revisions of the table according to the specified start date (see date)
- Reference date is mandatory

Note

You cannot completely replace a subscriber range table: A new revision is inserted by the SAP CC system.

Caution

Make sure you will not lose the data. The SAP CC system will remove and replace all the revisions already configured after the reference date speficied in the operation request. You may need to configure these revisions again.

Error Handling

The SAP CC system may return an error classified into a category and an error stack detailing the issue and its cause.

Categories and Treatments to Implement

Consider the following error categories to design and implement the appropriate behavior of your connected application or system:

Error Category	Description	Error Handling
Already Exists	The data has to be created but another data already exists in the connected SAP CC system with the same type and the same identifier.	Applicable for this service operation: You implement the logging of this error to enable a system administrator or a consultant to investigate and resolve the issue. Data replication or data synchronization mechanisms may fail.
Does Not Exist	The data to be modified or deleted does not exist in the connected SAP CC system.	Applicable for this service operation:
Invalid	The request or the data is invalid.	Applicable for this service operation:
Incompatible Configuration	The configuration of the connected SAP CC system is not compatible with the data specified in the operation request and the scope of the request. Creating or correcting the prerequisite configuration data (master data, business data) has to be done in the SAP CC system with the Core Tool user interface or within your connected application or system.	Applicable for this service operation:
Prerequisite Missing	Another data mandatory for the operation is not available or is not compatible with the data specified in the operation request. Create a prerequisite for the data.	Applicable for this service operation: The prerequisite data is managed outside the SAP CC system. Next follows a non-exhaustive list of errors related to the Prerequisite Missing category: The specified range table class does not exist in SAP CC The specified subscriber account does not exist in SAP CC
Illegal State	The operation request is valid but was rejected because of the current state of the data in the connected SAP CC system which prevents the execution of the request. The current state of the complete system can be also the origin of the error.	Applicable for this service operation: The request will not succeed without a required manual correction or change in the SAP CC system. You implement error logging and manual retry mechanisms. Next follows a non-exhaustive list of errors related to the Illegal State category: Pricing catalog restriction violation
Temporary Illegal State	The valid request was rejected because of the temporary illegal state of the data in the connected SAP CC system. The data state may automatically change without any further notification. This is a subcategory of the Illegal State category. The state of a data is temporary illegal but the operation request can be sent again after a waiting period. The current state of the complete system can be also the origin of the error.	Applicable for this service operation: You can implement an automated resend function.

Note

This list of errors is not exhaustive: consider the technical details of the operation response.
