• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ALB_MESSAGES222 - Surcharge/discount end date is not entered ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ALB_MESSAGES222 indicating that "Surcharge/discount end date is not entered" typically arises in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with surcharges or discounts in sales documents or pricing procedures.
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a surcharge or discount condition is defined in the pricing procedure but does not have an end date specified. In SAP, pricing conditions can have validity periods defined by start and end dates. If the end date is missing, the system cannot determine when the surcharge or discount should cease to be applicable, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to the transaction code VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to check the condition records for the surcharge or discount in question.
  Ensure that both the start date and end date are properly defined. If the end date is missing, enter a valid end date.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type. You can do this by navigating to SPRO (Customizing) > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Pricing Procedures.
  Ensure that the condition types for surcharges and discounts are correctly configured and that they have the necessary validity dates.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Users:
  
  If the end date is intentionally left blank (for example, if the discount/surcharge is meant to be valid indefinitely), consult with business users to determine if this is the correct approach. If so, you may need to adjust the configuration to allow for indefinite validity.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the pricing procedure again by creating or changing a sales document to ensure that the error no longer appears.
