• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRC_PRI200 - Header conditions cannot be changed on item level &1 ?

  The SAP error message PRC_PRI200, which states "Header conditions cannot be changed on item level &1," typically occurs in the context of pricing in purchasing documents, such as purchase orders or contracts. This error indicates that there is an attempt to modify header-level conditions at the item level, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Header vs. Item Conditions: In SAP, pricing conditions can be defined at both the header and item levels. Header conditions apply to the entire document, while item conditions apply to individual items. If you try to change a header condition (like a discount or surcharge) at the item level, this error will be triggered.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have specific rules regarding how conditions can be applied or modified.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the pricing procedure may restrict changes to header conditions at the item level.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Condition Types: Review the condition types being used in the pricing procedure. Ensure that you are not trying to change a header condition at the item level.
  Modify at Header Level: If you need to change a header condition, do so at the header level of the document rather than at the item level.
  Review Pricing Procedure: Check the pricing procedure configuration in SPRO (SAP Customizing Implementation Guide) to ensure that it allows for the intended changes. You may need to adjust the settings if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly manage pricing conditions in your specific scenario.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to pricing conditions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), or ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to manage your purchasing documents.
  Pricing Procedure Configuration: The pricing procedure can be configured in the following path: SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Conditions -> Define Price Determination Process.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message or provide additional insights.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP MM (Materials Management) or SD (Sales and Distribution) for further assistance.
