• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 28043 - Partial condition not allowed: NOT TYPE_OF ?

  The SAP error message 28043, "Partial condition not allowed: NOT TYPE_OF," typically occurs in the context of condition records in pricing or when working with condition types in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the way conditions are defined, particularly when using the "NOT TYPE_OF" operator in a partial condition.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Condition Definition: The error usually arises when a condition record is defined in a way that is not compatible with the expected structure. Specifically, using "NOT TYPE_OF" in a partial condition can lead to this error.
  Partial Condition Logic: The system does not allow certain logical operations (like negation) to be used in a partial condition context. This is because partial conditions are expected to be straightforward and not involve complex logic that could lead to ambiguity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Condition Records: Check the condition records where the error is occurring. Ensure that the conditions are defined correctly and do not use "NOT TYPE_OF" in a way that conflicts with the system's requirements.
  Modify Condition Logic: If you need to implement a condition that excludes certain types, consider restructuring your conditions. Instead of using "NOT TYPE_OF," you might need to create separate conditions or use different logical operators that are allowed in the context of partial conditions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define conditions and the limitations of using certain operators in condition records.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to review and modify condition records.
  Condition Types: Familiarize yourself with the specific condition types you are working with, as different types may have different rules regarding the use of logical operators.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context on how to handle conditions in your version of SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after reviewing and modifying the conditions, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your technical support team for further assistance.
