• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LOG_CMM_PRC046 - The sequence of Levels from Scale data record &1 &2 must be ascending ?

  The SAP error message LOG_CMM_PRC046 indicates that there is an issue with the sequence of levels in a scale data record. This error typically arises in the context of condition records or pricing procedures where the levels defined in the scale must be in ascending order. 
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the levels defined in the scale data record are not in the correct ascending order. For example, if you have a scale that defines levels based on quantity or value, the levels must be arranged from the lowest to the highest. If a higher level appears before a lower level, SAP will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the scale data record and ensure that the levels are in ascending order. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Scale Data Record:

  Look at the levels defined in the scale. Ensure that they are listed in ascending order. For example, if you have levels like 10, 20, and 30, they are correct. However, if you have levels like 20, 10, and 30, you need to rearrange them.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Levels:
  
  If you find any levels that are out of order, adjust them so that they follow the ascending sequence. 
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the scale data record.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
