• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONNECT_PRC_SAPCND016 - Scale amount is not decreasing. ?

  The SAP error message CONNECT_PRC_SAPCND016 with the description "Scale amount is not decreasing" typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records for pricing, discounts, or surcharges. This error indicates that the scale amounts defined in the pricing conditions are not set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in the pricing logic.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Scale Definition: The scale amounts defined in the condition records may not be in a decreasing order. For example, if you have a scale that specifies amounts for different quantities, the amounts should decrease as the quantity increases.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors while creating or modifying condition records can lead to incorrect scale amounts.
  
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The configuration of the condition type may not allow for the scale amounts to be set up correctly.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data across different condition records or related tables.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Scale Amounts: Check the scale amounts in the condition records for the relevant condition type. Ensure that they are in decreasing order. For example, if you have a scale like this:
  
  Quantity 1: Amount 100
  Quantity 2: Amount 90
  Quantity 3: Amount 80
  This is correct. If the amounts are not in this order, adjust them accordingly.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If you find any errors in the scale amounts, correct them in the condition records. You can do this through transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition).
  
  
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, check the configuration of the condition type in the SAP customizing settings (transaction code SPRO). Ensure that the condition type is set up to allow for scales and that the settings are appropriate.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on setting up scales for the condition types you are using.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the pricing procedure to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11, VK12, VK13 (Display Condition), and SPRO for configuration.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom logic implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that might affect pricing conditions.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in pricing and conditions.
