• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICO1385 - Condition type &1 and ref. condition type &2: Different amount categories ?

  The SAP error message FICO1385 indicates that there is a mismatch in the amount categories between two condition types in a pricing procedure. This typically occurs in the context of financial accounting (FI) and controlling (CO) when dealing with pricing conditions in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM).
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The condition type specified (e.g., &1) and the reference condition type (e.g., &2) have different amount categories defined in their configuration.
  Amount categories determine how the amounts are treated in terms of accounting (e.g., whether they are gross amounts, net amounts, etc.).
  This mismatch can occur during the processing of invoices, credit memos, or other financial documents where these condition types are applied.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the condition types involved. You can do this via transaction code SPRO.
  Navigate to the relevant path for pricing conditions, typically found under:
  
  Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types.
  
  
  Verify the amount categories assigned to both condition types. Ensure that they are consistent and appropriate for your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Types:
  
  If the condition types are meant to be used together, ensure they have the same amount category. You may need to change the configuration of one of the condition types to match the other.
  If they are not meant to be used together, check the pricing procedure to ensure that the correct condition types are being applied.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure that is being used in the transaction. Ensure that the condition types are correctly defined and that there are no conflicts in the way they are applied.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing condition types or amount categories, consult SAP documentation or seek advice from a functional consultant.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Amount Categories: These are defined in the condition type configuration and determine how the amounts are processed in financial transactions.
  Pricing Procedures: These are sequences of condition types that determine how pricing is calculated in sales and distribution.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition) for managing condition records.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FICO1385 error and ensure that your pricing conditions are correctly configured.
