• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_COND_VERIFIER076 - Condition item has condition type with prohibited calculation category ?

  The SAP error message FVD_COND_VERIFIER076 indicates that there is a condition item in your pricing procedure that has a condition type with a prohibited calculation category. This typically occurs in the context of pricing in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records in sales and distribution (SD) or financial transactions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Incompatible Condition Types: The condition type used in the pricing procedure is not compatible with the calculation category assigned to it. For example, certain condition types may be set to only allow specific calculation categories (like discounts, surcharges, etc.), and if a condition type is used incorrectly, it can trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the pricing procedure may not align with the business requirements or the specific condition types being used. This can happen if the condition types are not properly defined in the pricing procedure or if there are changes in the configuration that have not been updated in the relevant areas.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Condition Types.
  Review the condition type that is causing the error and check its configuration, particularly the calculation category.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  In the same SPRO path, navigate to Define Pricing Procedures.
  Check the pricing procedure where the error occurs and ensure that the condition types are correctly assigned and compatible with the calculation categories.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Records:
  
  If the condition type is being used incorrectly in a specific transaction, you may need to adjust the condition records or the pricing procedure to ensure compatibility.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in SAP SD or pricing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Calculation Categories: These define how the system calculates the values for the condition types (e.g., discounts, surcharges, taxes).
  Condition Types: These are used to define how prices are determined in sales documents. Each condition type has specific settings that dictate its behavior.
  Pricing Procedure: This is a sequence of condition types that the system uses to determine the final price of a product or service.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or a qualified SAP consultant for further assistance.
