• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G00321 - Selected item &1 for C/I has an unsuitable where-applied indicator ?

  The SAP error message G00321 indicates that the selected item for a condition item (C/I) has an unsuitable "where-applied" indicator. This typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records for pricing, discounts, or surcharges.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the condition record for a pricing condition is not applicable to the context in which it is being used. The "where-applied" indicator specifies the scenarios or contexts in which a condition record can be applied. If the selected item does not match the criteria defined by the where-applied indicator, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to the condition records for the specific pricing condition (using transaction codes like VK11, VK12, or VK13).
  Verify the "where-applied" indicator for the condition record in question. Ensure that it is set correctly for the item you are trying to process.
  
  
  
  Review Item Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the item in the sales order or pricing procedure. Ensure that the item is compatible with the condition record's where-applied indicator.
  
  
  
  Adjust Where-Applied Indicator:
  
  If necessary, adjust the where-applied indicator in the condition record to make it suitable for the item. This may involve changing the indicator to allow for broader applicability.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to pricing conditions and where-applied indicators for more detailed guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the scenario again to ensure that the error is resolved and that the pricing conditions are applied correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition).
  Pricing Procedure: Understand how the pricing procedure is set up in your system, as it dictates how conditions are applied to items.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in pricing and conditions.
