• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 67197 - Condition cannot be deleted/deactivated ?

  The SAP error message 67197, "Condition cannot be deleted/deactivated," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when working with sales documents, purchase orders, or other related transactions. This error indicates that the system is unable to delete or deactivate a specific pricing condition due to certain constraints or dependencies.
  Causes:
  
  
  Condition Usage: The condition you are trying to delete or deactivate is currently being used in one or more documents (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders, etc.). If the condition is still active in any document, it cannot be removed.
  
  
  Document Status: The document in which the condition is used may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the document is already completed or has been invoiced, modifications to conditions may be restricted.
  
  
  Condition Type Settings: Certain condition types may have specific settings that prevent them from being deleted or deactivated. For example, if the condition is marked as mandatory or if it is part of a pricing procedure that is locked.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete or deactivate the condition.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Document Usage: Review the documents where the condition is being used. If the condition is still active in any document, you will need to either remove it from those documents or wait until they are no longer in use.
  
  
  Change Document Status: If the document is in a status that prevents changes, consider changing its status (if possible) or creating a new document without the condition.
  
  
  Review Condition Type Settings: Check the configuration of the condition type in the pricing procedure. If it is set as mandatory or has other restrictions, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to delete or deactivate the condition has the necessary authorizations. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Sometimes, specific issues may be addressed in SAP Notes. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes that may provide additional guidance or solutions.
