• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER043 - Partial condition not allowed: NOT TYPE_OF ?

  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER043: Partial condition not allowed: NOT TYPE_OF typically occurs in the context of condition records or pricing procedures in SAP, particularly when working with condition types in the pricing module (like SD - Sales and Distribution).
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is an attempt to use a condition that is not fully defined or is incorrectly structured. Specifically, the error indicates that a "NOT TYPE_OF" condition is being used in a way that is not permitted. This can happen in scenarios where:
  
  Incomplete Condition Records: The condition record may not be fully defined, leading to ambiguity in how the system should interpret the condition.
  Incorrect Condition Type Usage: The condition type being used may not support the logic being applied, especially if it involves negation or partial conditions.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the pricing procedure or condition types that do not allow for the intended logic.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Make sure that the condition types used in the pricing procedure are compatible with the logic you are trying to implement.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to condition types and pricing procedures to understand the limitations and requirements for the specific condition types you are using.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Scenarios:
