  The SAP error message NI040 ("Condition type & newly created (new pricing necessary)") typically occurs in the context of pricing in sales documents (like sales orders or quotations) when a new condition type has been added or modified, and the system requires a recalculation of the pricing.
  Cause:
  
  New Condition Type: A new condition type has been created in the pricing procedure, which is not yet applied to the current document.
  Changes in Pricing Procedure: Changes in the pricing procedure that affect the existing conditions.
  Missing Condition Records: The condition records for the new condition type may not be maintained, leading to the system not being able to calculate the pricing correctly.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for pricing updates.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Recalculate Pricing: 
  
  Go to the sales document (e.g., sales order) and trigger a pricing recalculation. This can usually be done by selecting the "Recalculate" option in the document.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that the condition records for the new condition type are maintained. You can do this by navigating to the condition maintenance transaction (e.g., VK11 for creating condition records).

  Document Status:

  Consult with Configuration Team:
