• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 28044 - Partial condition not allowed: NOT &1 = ... ?

  The SAP error message 28044 with the description "Partial condition not allowed: NOT &1 = ..." typically occurs in the context of condition records in pricing or other areas where conditions are evaluated. This error indicates that there is an issue with the way conditions are defined, particularly when using negation (NOT) in a condition record.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a condition record is defined in a way that is not allowed by the system. Specifically, it occurs when a partial condition is being used with a negation operator. In SAP, certain conditions must be fully defined, and using a negation with a partial condition can lead to ambiguity or conflicts in the pricing logic.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Condition Records: Check the condition records that are causing the error. Look for any conditions that are defined with a negation (e.g., NOT) and ensure that they are fully specified.
  
  
  Modify Condition Logic: If you find a condition that is partially defined with a negation, consider modifying it to ensure that it is fully defined. This may involve changing the logic or removing the negation if it is not necessary.
  
  
  Check Condition Types: Ensure that the condition types being used are appropriate for the logic you are trying to implement. Some condition types may not support negation or partial conditions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific condition types and their allowed configurations.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the pricing procedure or the relevant transaction to ensure that the error is resolved and that the pricing logic behaves as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), or VK13 (Display Condition) to manage condition records.
  Pricing Procedure: Understanding the pricing procedure and how conditions are evaluated can help in troubleshooting this error.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on condition handling.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
