• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PRCAT221 - Conditions of &1 will not be displayed in the future ?

  The SAP error message COM_PRCAT221 indicates that certain conditions related to a pricing procedure or condition record will not be displayed in the future. This message typically arises in the context of pricing and condition management within SAP, particularly in modules like Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM).
  Cause:
  The error message COM_PRCAT221 can be triggered by several factors, including:
  
  Condition Record Configuration: The condition records may have been set up incorrectly or may not be valid for the current context (e.g., sales area, customer, material).
  Validity Period: The condition records may have a validity period that has expired, meaning they are no longer applicable for future transactions.
  Condition Exclusion: The condition may have been marked for exclusion in the pricing procedure, preventing it from being displayed.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data (e.g., customer or material master) that affect the availability of the condition records.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the COM_PRCAT221 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to the transaction code VK13 (Display Condition) or VK11 (Create Condition) to review the condition records.
  Ensure that the condition records are valid for the relevant sales area, customer, and material.
  
  
  
  Review Validity Dates:
  
  Check the validity dates of the condition records to ensure they are active for the required period.
  If necessary, update the validity dates to include the future periods.
  
  
  
  Examine Pricing Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure assigned to the relevant sales document type to ensure that the condition is included and not excluded.
  You can check this in the configuration settings under SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the customer and material master data are correctly maintained and that there are no inconsistencies that could affect pricing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11, VK12, VK13 for condition maintenance, and SPRO for configuration.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to pricing issues or specific error messages that may provide additional insights or patches.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect pricing behavior.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the COM_PRCAT221 error and implement the necessary corrections to ensure that the conditions are displayed correctly in the future.
