  Cause:
  This error arises when a user attempts to create or modify a pricing condition but fails to provide the necessary information.

  Check the Condition Type: Identify the condition type that is causing the error. This can usually be found in the pricing procedure associated with the transaction.

  If the condition type requires a percentage rate, ensure that you enter a valid percentage (e.g., 10%).
  If it requires a charge amount, enter the appropriate monetary value (e.g., $100).
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure: If you are configuring pricing, ensure that the pricing procedure is set up correctly and that the condition types are defined to accept either a percentage or an amount as needed.
  
  
  Check for Customizations: If your organization has custom pricing logic, ensure that any custom code or enhancements are not interfering with the expected behavior of the pricing conditions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the required values for specific condition types, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
