• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CVIV_VAL029 - Purch org &1: Do not enter both Absolute surcharge and Percentage HSC ?

  The SAP error message CVIV_VAL029 indicates that there is a conflict in the pricing conditions for a purchasing organization. Specifically, it occurs when both an absolute surcharge and a percentage HSC (Handling Service Charge) are entered for the same condition type in the pricing procedure. This is not allowed because the system cannot process both types of surcharges simultaneously for the same condition.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Error: The most common cause is that during the creation or modification of a purchasing document (like a purchase order), both an absolute surcharge and a percentage surcharge have been entered for the same condition type.

  Solution:
  
  
  Review Pricing Conditions:
  
  Go to the relevant purchasing document (e.g., Purchase Order) and check the pricing conditions.
  Ensure that only one type of surcharge (either absolute or percentage) is entered for the same condition type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Conditions:
  
  If both surcharges are present, decide which one is appropriate for your scenario and remove the other.
  Save the changes and try to process the document again.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If this issue occurs frequently, it may be necessary to review the configuration of the pricing procedure in the SAP system.
  Consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the pricing procedure is set up correctly and does not allow conflicting entries.
