  The SAP error message NAA142 indicates that there is an issue with the condition type configuration in the pricing procedure. Specifically, it suggests that a condition type that is independent of business volume requires a calculation rule that is fixed. This typically occurs in the context of pricing in sales and distribution (SD) or in the materials management (MM) module.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A condition type is set up as independent of business volume (e.g., a fixed price) but does not have the appropriate calculation rule assigned to it.
  The pricing procedure is not configured correctly to handle the condition type as expected.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/06 (for SD) or M/06 (for MM) to access the condition type configuration.

  Ensure that the condition type is marked as "independent of business volume" if that is the intended configuration.
  
  
  
  Assign the Correct Calculation Rule:
  
  For condition types that are independent of business volume, ensure that the calculation rule is set to "B" (fixed).
  You can do this in the condition type configuration by checking the "Calculation Type" field.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to transaction code V/08 (for SD) or M/08 (for MM) to review the pricing procedure.
  Ensure that the condition type is included in the pricing procedure and that it is placed in the correct sequence.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the pricing procedure in a sales order or purchase order to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
