What causes this issue?

Changing the value of &V1& for a condition type may influence existing
documents. You should consider the following points:
If you change the value defined in this field and prices in existing
documents are recalculated, the value of the condition may change. This
could lead to a different price, discount, surcharge, tax, and so on.
The following requirements must be fulfilled for the price of an
existing document to change:
The condition type is part of a pricing procedure.
This pricing procedure is used in an existing document.
A repricing of this document has been triggered.
The determined value of a condition needs to be different before and
after the repricing.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

For the following fields, please consider the consequences of changing a
value. The stated examples make no claims for completeness and do not
include all cases that may influence the pricing result and may need to
be considered.
Access Sequence
Access sequences define sets of business attributes for which the system
determines condition values. If you change the access sequence, the
system will determine other condition records. The system will either
find new records containing different values or it may no longer find
previously used records, if the new access sequence doesn?t contain
accesses that were part of the original sequence.
Condition Class
Condition classes classify condition types, e.g. prices, surcharges or
discounts. The system handles condition classes differently during price
determination. For example, a pricing procedure may contain only one
active condition type of condition class Price. A condition of condition
class Price deactivates preceding conditions of condition class Price.
Changing the condition class may therefore lead to a different pricing
result. This change takes effect when a new price determination is made.
Calculation Type for Condition
The determined condition amount may change its meaning in the price
calculation. For example, it may change from a fixed to a percentage
value. Ensure that the settings of the pricing procedures and the master
data that use the condition type are consistent. Also ensure that they
are consistent for any base formulas, from/to steps, and so on. The
change takes effect when a new price determination is made).
Condition Category (Examples: Tax, Freight, Price, Cost)
Changing the condition category will affect the point in time of
redetermination changes (for example, taxes are usually redetermined
during billing). The change takes effect when a new price determination
is made. Account keys can also depend logically but not technically on
the condition category. The system will continue to post to the same
accounts although logically they may have changed from Cost to Freight.
Rounding Rule
If you change the rounding rule, for example from rounding up to
commercial or vice versa, this may lead to different pricing results in
existing documents should a price recalculation be triggered.
Structure Condition
If you select the structure condition value <LS>Cumulation Condition</>,
you must adjust the step in which you use the cumulation condition in
all pricing procedures as follows:
To the <LS>Alt. Calculation Type </>field, you either assign the SAP
standard formula <LB>0000036</> or a customer-defined formula.
You select the <LS>Statistics </>indicator.
If you select the structure condition value <LS>Duplication Condition</>
, no follow-up action is necessary.
If you remove the structure condition value <LS>Cumulation Condition</>,
in the pricing procedures that used the cumulation condition, you can
unassign the SAP standard formula <LB>0000036 </>(or a customer-defined
formula) and deselect the <LB>Statistics </>indicator.
Group Condition
For group condition, the value that is used to determine the scale level
can be a cumulation of different document line items. This may influence
the condition value. Make sure that the formulas used in corresponding
pricing procedures are suitable for group conditions. For non-scale
conditions, amounts that are entered at header level are distributed
across all items.
Routine Number for Creating Group Key
This field determines how the scale basis for a group condition is
calculated and how it may influence the condition value. This also
affects recalculation (and not only redetermination).
Manual Entries
This flag controls whether a user can enter a condition manually in a
business document. In addition, it specifies whether the system
prioritizes manual or automatic conditions. Any change may lead to
different pricing results, if manual and automatic conditions of the
same type are used to calculate the pricing result of a document item.
The change will also affect existing documents, if pricing results are
recalculated.
Reference Condition Type
If you change the reference condition, the system will determine an
alternative different condition record. This in turn might change the
pricing result. The change comes into effect when a new price
determination is made. Ensure that a condition record exists for the new
reference condition.
Reference Application
If the reference application is changed, a different condition record is
determined, which might change the pricing result.
Condition Update
Condition update determines whether limit values are relevant to
pricing. For example, if the flag is removed, a potential maximum limit
for the base value is not considered.
Scale Basis Indicator
The scale basis indicator determines the scale on which a measure is
based (for example, quantity, volume, and so on). This may change the
condition value. Check if the scale base indicator is consistent with
the used scale base formula. Also, check if the from/to step range is
correct.
Scale Type
The scale type determines how a scale is calculated and may change the
value of the condition. Check if scale type is consistent with the used
scale base formula. The change from or to "D - graduated-to interval
scale" must not be made for conditions that have already been used in
existing documents. This may lead to incorrect results should the
quantity change.
Formula for Scale Base Value
Determines how the scale base value is calculated, which may influence
which scale level is used. Please check if the from/to step range is
correct.
Scale Unit
Determines which unit is used for scale determination for volume or
weight group conditions. This may change the value of the condition. A
pricing error will occur if the corresponding conversion factor has not
been maintained for the selected scale unit.
Currency Conversion
Changing this value might lead to a different pricing result since you
are changing the point in time of the currency conversion. Note: The
change also affects existing documents, if a repricing is carried out.
Quantity Conversion
Changing this value leads to the use a different conversion logic and
hence possibly to a different result, if the sales quantity unit is
equal to the condition quantity unit. Note: The change also affects
existing documents, if a repricing is carried out.
Pricing Date
This fields controls the date used for the search for valid condition
records. The use of a different date may lead to different conditions
being found in a document. Note: Changing this flag will affect also
existing documents, if a redetermination of condition records is carried
out
Condition is Relevant for Accrual (for example, Freight)
Indicates if the system posts the amounts resulting from this condition
to financial accounting as accruals. The condition is always
statistical, and the accruals account must be defined. The system
ignores this indicator if, in the pricing procedure that you select, you
also select the <LS>Relevant for Account Determination </>indicator.
Condition for Intercompany Billing
Indicates that the condition is a internal costing condition. The
condition may be handled differently in billing processes and may change
the result of affected documents. Usually intercompany billing
conditions have requirement "22 - Inter-company". Please keep in mind
that intercompany billing conditions are redetermined with repricing
type "G - Copy pricing elements unchanged and redetermine taxes".
