• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MN522 - Condition record entered subsequently (not incl. in document conditions) ?

  The SAP error message MN522 ("Condition record entered subsequently (not incl. in document conditions)") typically occurs in the context of pricing and condition records in SAP. This error indicates that a condition record has been created or modified after the document (such as a sales order or purchase order) was created, and therefore, the system does not include this condition in the pricing calculation for that document.
  Cause:
  
  Timing of Condition Record Creation: The condition record was created or changed after the document was already created. SAP does not retroactively apply new or modified condition records to existing documents.
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type may be configured in such a way that it does not allow for retroactive application.
  Document Type Settings: Certain document types may have specific settings that prevent the inclusion of subsequently created condition records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Recreate or Modify the Document: If the condition record is essential for the pricing of the document, you may need to recreate the document or modify it to ensure that it picks up the new condition record.
  Check Condition Records: Verify that the condition records are correctly set up and active. You can do this by navigating to the condition records in the relevant transaction (e.g., VK11 for sales conditions).
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like VK11, VK12, or VK13 to create, change, or display condition records, respectively.
  Review Pricing Procedure: Ensure that the pricing procedure associated with the document allows for the inclusion of the condition type in question.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific configuration settings that may be affecting the condition records.
