• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K8723 - Condition type &1 cannot be maintained here (prices from material) ?

  The SAP error message K8723 ("Condition type &1 cannot be maintained here (prices from material)") typically occurs in the context of pricing and condition records in SAP, particularly when dealing with pricing conditions in the Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM) modules. This error indicates that the system is unable to maintain a specific condition type because it is set to derive its values from material master data rather than being manually maintained.
  Cause:
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type you are trying to maintain is configured to pull pricing information directly from the material master (e.g., standard price, moving average price) instead of allowing manual entry.
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure associated with the transaction may not allow for manual maintenance of the condition type in question.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are using may not support the maintenance of the condition type due to its settings or the context in which it is being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the condition type configuration in the SAP customizing (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Condition Types.
  Review the settings for the condition type in question and ensure that it is not set to derive values from the material master if you want to maintain it manually.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document or purchasing document.
  Ensure that the condition type is correctly included in the pricing procedure and that it is set up to allow manual maintenance if that is your intention.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Transaction:
  
  If you are trying to maintain a condition type that is meant to be derived from the material master, consider using the appropriate transaction to update the material master data instead (e.g., transaction MM02 for material master maintenance).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more details on the specific condition type and its intended use.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you are unsure about the configuration, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to the condition type.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
