• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5Y014 - At least one compulsory lowest rate ?

  The SAP error message 5Y014 ("At least one compulsory lowest rate") typically occurs in the context of pricing and conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with pricing procedures in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM). This error indicates that the system requires a minimum or lowest rate to be defined for a particular pricing condition, but it has not been provided.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Condition Records: The most common cause is that there are no condition records defined for the pricing condition that is required to determine the lowest rate.
  Incorrect Configuration: The pricing procedure may be incorrectly configured, leading to the system not being able to find the necessary condition records.
  Mandatory Fields: The pricing condition might be set as mandatory in the configuration, and if the required data is not filled in, this error will occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to the transaction code VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to check if the condition records for the relevant pricing condition are maintained.
  Ensure that there is at least one record for the lowest rate that meets the criteria defined in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Use transaction code V/08 to review the pricing procedure configuration.
  Ensure that the condition type associated with the lowest rate is correctly configured and marked as mandatory if required.
  
  
  
  Maintain Minimum Rate:
  
  If the pricing condition requires a minimum rate, ensure that this is maintained in the condition records.
  If applicable, you may need to create a new condition record with the required lowest rate.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the specific requirements for the pricing condition in your business context.
