  The SAP error message ICC_NF_WRITER028 indicates that there is an issue with switching between quantity-based rates (pauta) and percentage rates in the context of pricing or billing in SAP. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system expects a consistent pricing method but encounters a conflict between the two types of rates.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Rate Types: The error occurs when there is an attempt to switch from a quantity-based rate to a percentage rate or vice versa within the same transaction or document. This inconsistency can happen if the pricing conditions are not set up correctly or if there are conflicting entries in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the pricing procedure may not allow for the mixing of different rate types. This can be due to specific settings in the pricing condition types or the overall pricing strategy defined in the system.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can also lead to this issue, especially if users inadvertently select different rate types for the same item or service.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Pricing Conditions: Check the pricing conditions in the document where the error occurred. Ensure that all items are using the same type of rate (either all quantity-based or all percentage-based).

  Modifying the pricing condition types to allow for both rate types.
  Ensuring that the pricing procedure is set up to handle the specific requirements of your business.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that all relevant data entries are consistent. If you are entering data manually, double-check that you are not mixing rate types for the same transaction.
