• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O4059 - Pricing procedures of preceeding invoices and diff. inv. not compatible. ?

  The SAP error message O4059 indicates that there is a compatibility issue between the pricing procedures of preceding invoices and the current invoice you are trying to process. This typically occurs in the context of billing documents, where the system checks the pricing procedure used in previous invoices against the one being used in the current invoice.
  Cause:
  
  Different Pricing Procedures: The most common cause is that the pricing procedure defined for the current invoice does not match the pricing procedure used in previous invoices for the same customer or sales order.
  Changes in Configuration: If there have been changes in the pricing procedure configuration (e.g., changes in the condition types, access sequences, or pricing procedure determination), it can lead to this error.
  Document Flow Issues: If the document flow is not consistent (e.g., if a credit memo or debit memo is being created based on an invoice with a different pricing procedure), this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Pricing Procedures: Verify the pricing procedures assigned to the customer and the sales document. Ensure that the pricing procedure for the current invoice matches that of the preceding invoices.
  Review Configuration: If there have been recent changes to the pricing procedure configuration, review those changes to ensure they are correct and consistent with existing documents.
  Document Flow: Check the document flow for the sales order or billing document. Ensure that all related documents (invoices, credit memos, etc.) are using the same pricing procedure.
  Use the Same Sales Area: Ensure that the sales area (sales organization, distribution channel, and division) is the same for all related documents, as this can affect pricing procedure determination.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on pricing procedure issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) and VK12 (Change Condition) to check and modify condition records related to pricing.
  Pricing Procedure Determination: The pricing procedure is determined based on various factors, including the sales area, customer master data, and document type. You can review the configuration in the SPRO transaction under Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the pricing procedure determination logic to identify why the system is selecting a different pricing procedure.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the O4059 error and ensure that the pricing procedures are compatible across your invoices.
