• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICO1384 - Cond. type &1 and ref. cond. type &2: Different cond. determination time ?

  The SAP error message FICO1384 indicates that there is a conflict in the condition determination time between two condition types in the pricing procedure. This typically occurs in the context of pricing in sales and distribution (SD) or in the financial module (FICO) when the system is trying to determine the pricing conditions for a transaction.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Two condition types (e.g., condition type &1 and reference condition type &2) are set up with different condition determination times. 
  The condition determination time defines when the condition is valid or applicable (e.g., at the time of order, delivery, billing, etc.).
  This mismatch can occur due to configuration settings in the pricing procedure or condition records.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Types:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/06 (for condition types) or V/08 (for pricing procedures) in SAP.
  Identify the condition types mentioned in the error message (e.g., &1 and &2).
  Review their configuration settings, particularly the "Condition Determination Time" field.
  
  
  
  Align Condition Determination Times:
  
  Ensure that both condition types have the same condition determination time. If they are meant to be used together, they should logically have the same timing.
  If necessary, adjust the configuration of one of the condition types to match the other.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure that is being used for the transaction. Ensure that the sequence of condition types is correct and that they are compatible with each other.
  You can access the pricing procedure configuration via transaction code V/08.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing condition determination times, consult SAP documentation or your SAP functional consultant for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
