• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_SCALE_OUT014 - Please create groups in ascending order and without overlap from &1 to &2 ?

  The SAP error message FKK_SCALE_OUT014 indicates that there is an issue with the way scale groups are defined in the system. Specifically, the error message states: "Please create groups in ascending order and without overlap from &1 to &2." This typically occurs in the context of contract accounts or billing documents where scale pricing is applied.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Non-ascending Order: The scale groups are defined in a non-ascending order. For example, if you have defined a scale from 10 to 20 and then another scale from 15 to 25, this would create an overlap.
  Overlapping Ranges: The defined ranges for the scale groups overlap. Each scale group must have distinct, non-overlapping ranges to avoid confusion in pricing calculations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the scale groups are defined correctly:
  
  Check Scale Groups: Review the scale groups you have defined. Ensure that they are in ascending order and that there are no overlaps.
  Adjust Ranges: Modify the ranges of the scale groups so that they are distinct and do not overlap. For example, if you have a scale from 10 to 20, the next scale should start from 21 or higher.
  Recreate Groups: If necessary, delete the problematic scale groups and recreate them in the correct order and without overlaps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as FKK_SCAL (for scale management) or FKK_SCALES to manage scale groups.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed instructions on how to create and manage scale groups.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the pricing calculations work as expected.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FKK_SCALE_OUT014 error and ensure that your scale groups are correctly defined in the SAP system.
