• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVC_PRC_DETN016 - Transfer Price is not determined since both segmentations are the same. ?

  The SAP error message FVC_PRC_DETN016 indicates that the transfer price cannot be determined because both segmentations are the same. This typically occurs in the context of transfer pricing in SAP, particularly when dealing with intercompany transactions or pricing conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Identical Segmentations: The error arises when the system identifies that the segmentations (e.g., customer, material, or other relevant criteria) for the pricing determination are identical. This means that the system cannot differentiate between the two segments to apply different pricing rules or conditions.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the pricing procedure or the condition records that leads to the system not being able to find a valid transfer price.
  Missing Condition Records: If there are no valid condition records for the specific combination of segments, the system will not be able to determine a transfer price.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Segmentations: Check the segmentations being used in the transaction. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are distinct values for the segments involved.
  Check Pricing Procedure: Review the pricing procedure configuration in SAP. Ensure that the pricing conditions are correctly defined and that there are no overlaps that could cause the system to treat the segments as identical.
  Create or Update Condition Records: If necessary, create or update the condition records for the transfer pricing. Ensure that there are valid records for the specific combination of segments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring transfer pricing and segmentations.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the transfer price can now be determined correctly.
