• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5E059 - Calculation method(s) not been assigned ?

  The SAP error message 5E059: Calculation method(s) not been assigned typically occurs in the context of pricing or cost calculation in SAP, particularly in modules like SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) or SAP MM (Materials Management). This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid calculation method for the pricing procedure or condition type being used.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Configuration: The calculation methods for the relevant condition types or pricing procedures have not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Assignment: The calculation methods may not be correctly assigned to the pricing procedure or condition types.
  Custom Development: If there are custom pricing procedures or condition types, they may not have been properly configured.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Pricing Procedures.
  Ensure that the relevant pricing procedure is correctly defined and that calculation methods are assigned to the condition types.
  
  
  
  Assign Calculation Methods:
  
  In the same configuration area, check the condition types used in the pricing procedure.
  Ensure that each condition type has a calculation method assigned. You can do this by selecting the condition type and checking its details.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction code VK11 or VK12 to check if condition records exist for the relevant condition types. If there are no records, the system may not be able to perform the calculation.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Development:
  
  If you are using custom pricing procedures or condition types, ensure that they are properly configured and that the necessary calculation methods are assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings. You may need to re-transport the configuration or manually adjust it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to pricing procedures and calculation methods for any additional guidance or updates.

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the pricing calculations are working as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP functional consultant or your technical support team for further investigation.
