• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MN705 - Condition type group & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message "MN705 Condition type group & does not exist" typically occurs in the context of pricing and condition records in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with pricing procedures in the Materials Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD) modules. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specified condition type group, which is essential for determining pricing conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Condition Type Group: The specified condition type group does not exist in the system. This could be due to a configuration error or because the group was deleted or never created.
  Incorrect Configuration: The pricing procedure may be incorrectly configured, leading to references to non-existent condition type groups.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport may not have included the necessary condition type group.
  User Error: The user may have entered an incorrect condition type group name or code.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Group:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/06 (for SD) or M/06 (for MM) to check the condition type groups.

  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the relevant document (sales order, purchase order, etc.) using transaction code V/08 (for SD) or M/08 (for MM).

  Transport Issues:
