• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDI_SD012 - Pricing procedure cannot be determined ?

  The SAP error message EDI_SD012, which states "Pricing procedure cannot be determined," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when the system is unable to determine the appropriate pricing procedure for a sales document. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Customer Master Data: The pricing procedure is often determined based on the customer master data. If the customer master record is incomplete or incorrect (e.g., missing sales area data), the system may not be able to find the appropriate pricing procedure.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Material Master Data: Similar to customer data, if the material master record does not have the necessary pricing information or is not set up correctly, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Sales Area Configuration: The pricing procedure is linked to the sales area (sales organization, distribution channel, and division). If the sales area is not properly configured or does not exist in the system, the pricing procedure cannot be determined.
  
  
  Pricing Procedure Determination Configuration: The configuration settings for pricing procedure determination (in transaction code SPRO) may not be set up correctly. This includes the condition records and the assignment of pricing procedures to customer and material combinations.
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type used in the sales order may not be linked to a pricing procedure in the configuration.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction code XD02 (Change Customer) and verify that the customer master data is complete, especially in the sales area view.
  Ensure that the pricing procedure is assigned correctly in the customer master record.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM02 (Change Material) to check the material master data.
  Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct sales organization and that pricing information is available.
  
  
  
  Verify Sales Area Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the sales area (sales organization, distribution channel, division) is correctly set up in the system.
  Check if the sales area exists in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SPRO and navigate to the following path:
  
  Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Pricing Procedures.
  
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedures are correctly defined and assigned to the relevant customer and material combinations.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the document type used for the sales order is linked to a pricing procedure in the configuration.
  This can also be checked in the SPRO settings under Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Document ? Define Sales Document Types.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Scenarios:
  
  If possible, try creating a sales order with a different customer or material to see if the issue persists. This can help isolate whether the problem is specific to certain data.
