• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NI029 - Pricing type & not defined ?

  The SAP error message NI029, which states "Pricing type & not defined," typically occurs in the context of pricing procedures in SAP, particularly when dealing with sales documents, purchase orders, or other transactions that involve pricing.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following issues:
  
  
  Missing Pricing Type Definition: The pricing type specified in the transaction is not defined in the system. This could happen if the pricing type is incorrectly configured or if it has been deleted.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The pricing procedure may not be correctly assigned to the relevant sales area, or the pricing type may not be linked to the pricing procedure.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The customer or material master data may not have the necessary pricing information or may be incomplete.
