• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL197 - Overlapping Price Break Range; All Price Break Quantities rejected ?

  The SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL197 indicates that there is an issue with overlapping price break ranges in the pricing conditions of a sales document or pricing procedure. This typically occurs when multiple price breaks are defined for the same material or service, and the ranges for these price breaks overlap, leading to ambiguity in determining which price should be applied.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Price Breaks: The most common cause is that two or more price breaks have been defined with overlapping quantity ranges. For example, if you have one price break for quantities 1-10 and another for 5-15, the ranges overlap, causing the system to reject the pricing condition.
  Incorrect Configuration: The pricing procedure or condition records may not be configured correctly, leading to conflicts in the defined price breaks.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when creating or updating condition records can lead to overlapping ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Price Breaks: Check the condition records for the relevant pricing condition. Ensure that there are no overlapping ranges. Adjust the ranges so that they are distinct and do not overlap.
  
  For example, if you have:
  
  Price Break 1: 1-10
  Price Break 2: 5-15
  
  
  Change Price Break 1 to 1-4 and keep Price Break 2 as 5-15.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Records: If you find overlapping ranges, modify the condition records to ensure that each price break has a unique range. This may involve deleting or adjusting existing records.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration of the pricing procedure in the SAP system. Ensure that the pricing procedure is set up correctly and that the condition types are defined properly.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the pricing in a sales order or quotation to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the correct pricing is applied.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to adjust the condition records or pricing procedure, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with SAP pricing configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to manage pricing conditions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on pricing configuration.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify pricing conditions in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL197 error and ensure that your pricing conditions are set up correctly without overlapping ranges.
