• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRC_MESSAGES632 - Upper limit for condition type &1 cannot be positive ?

  The SAP error message PRC_MESSAGES632, which states "Upper limit for condition type &1 cannot be positive," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when working with condition types in pricing procedures. This error indicates that there is a configuration issue with the condition type specified in the message.
  Cause:
  
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type in question has been configured with an upper limit that is set to a positive value, which is not allowed. In SAP, certain condition types are expected to have an upper limit of zero or negative, especially if they are meant to represent discounts or deductions.
  
  
  Incorrect Condition Records: There may be condition records that have been created with an upper limit that does not comply with the expected configuration for that condition type.
  
  
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts in how the condition types are applied.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration for the condition type in transaction code V/06 (for pricing condition types).
  Verify the settings for the condition type in question (e.g., check the "Upper Limit" field). If it is set to a positive value, change it to zero or a negative value as appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction code VK11 to check the condition records for the specific condition type.
  Ensure that the records do not have an upper limit set to a positive value. If they do, adjust them accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure assigned to the relevant sales document or purchasing document using transaction code V/08.
  Ensure that the condition type is correctly included in the pricing procedure and that its settings align with the overall pricing strategy.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the pricing procedure again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
