the condition type of the subsequent settlement relates.

already being used elsewhere.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MN439 - Subtotal & in calculation schema & for condition type & not allowed ?

  The SAP error message MN439 indicates that there is an issue with the calculation schema in relation to a specific condition type. This error typically arises during the pricing procedure in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) when the system encounters a subtotal that is not allowed for the specified condition type.
