• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_RAI348 - Cost condition may never be statistical for item ID &1/condition type &2 ?

  The SAP error message FARR_RAI348 indicates that a cost condition cannot be set as statistical for a specific item and condition type. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) modules, particularly when dealing with condition records in pricing or cost allocation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type specified (in this case, &2) is configured in such a way that it does not allow statistical values. This is often the case for cost-related condition types that are meant to reflect actual costs rather than statistical or theoretical values.
  Item Configuration: The item ID (&1) may be associated with a condition type that is not intended to be statistical, leading to a conflict when trying to set it as such.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the condition type in question (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Condition Types.
  Review the settings for the condition type to ensure it is not marked as statistical if it is meant to be a cost condition.
  
  
  
  Review Item and Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the item. Ensure that the condition type is correctly defined within the pricing procedure and that it aligns with the intended use (cost vs. statistical).
  If necessary, modify the pricing procedure to accommodate the correct handling of the condition type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the condition type and its intended use. This can provide insights into whether the condition type should be statistical or not.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Condition Types: In SAP, condition types are used to define how prices and costs are calculated. They can be configured to be either statistical or actual, depending on the business requirements.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
