• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6X254 - Source condition is inactive ?

  The SAP error message 6X254: Source condition is inactive typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with purchasing documents, particularly in the area of condition records for pricing. This error indicates that the source condition (which could be a pricing condition or a discount) that you are trying to use is not active in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Condition Record: The most common cause is that the condition record for the pricing condition you are trying to use has been marked as inactive.
  Validity Period: The condition record may not be valid for the date you are trying to use it. Each condition record has a validity period, and if the current date falls outside this range, the condition will be considered inactive.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data related to the vendor, material, or purchasing info records that are linked to the condition.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the pricing procedure that are not set up correctly, leading to the condition being inactive.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to the transaction code VK13 (Display Condition) or MEK1 (Create Condition) to check the condition records for the relevant pricing condition.
  Ensure that the condition record is active. If it is inactive, you can activate it using MEK2 (Change Condition).
  
  
  
  Review Validity Dates:
  
  Check the validity dates of the condition record. If the current date is outside the validity period, you may need to create a new condition record with the correct dates.
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the vendor, material, and purchasing info records are correctly maintained and linked to the condition record. Check for any discrepancies that might cause the condition to be inactive.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure configuration in the system to ensure that the condition type is correctly defined and linked to the appropriate pricing procedure.
