• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRC_MESSAGES213 - Condition & is not allowed as header condition ?

  The SAP error message PRC_MESSAGES213, which states "Condition & is not allowed as header condition," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when working with pricing procedures in sales documents or purchase orders. This error indicates that a specific condition type is being incorrectly used as a header condition when it is not permitted.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The condition type being used is not configured to be a header condition in the pricing procedure. Header conditions are typically used for overall document pricing, while item conditions are used for individual line items.
  Pricing Procedure Settings: The pricing procedure may not allow certain condition types to be used at the header level due to the way it has been set up in the system.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on which condition types can be applied at the header level.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/08 to view and modify the pricing procedure.
  Identify the pricing procedure being used for the document and check the configuration of the condition types.
  Ensure that the condition type in question is marked as a header condition if it is intended to be used at that level.
  
  
  
  Modify Condition Type:
  
  If the condition type should be allowed as a header condition, you may need to adjust its settings in the condition type configuration (transaction code V/06).
  Ensure that the "Header Condition" checkbox is selected for the condition type if it is appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type:
  
  Check the document type settings to ensure that it allows the use of the condition type at the header level.
  This can be done in the configuration settings for the specific document type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the implications of changing condition types and pricing procedures.
  
  
  
  Testing:
