  The SAP error message AH142 ("Price is consistent") typically occurs in the context of pricing in SAP, particularly when dealing with sales orders, purchase orders, or other transactions that involve pricing conditions. This message indicates that the pricing conditions applied to the transaction are consistent with the pricing rules defined in the system.

  Condition Records: The condition records for pricing may not be set up correctly or may not exist for the specific combination of customer, material, and other relevant factors.

This may involve checking the configuration in the SPRO transaction under Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM).
