• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECD099 - Formula &1 is only allowed to used for statistical conditions ?

  The SAP error message RECD099 indicates that a formula is being used in a context where it is not permitted, specifically for statistical conditions. This error typically arises in the context of condition records in pricing or other related areas where formulas are defined.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A formula that is intended for statistical conditions is mistakenly applied to a condition type that does not support it.
  The condition type is set up in a way that it expects a specific type of value (e.g., a fixed amount or percentage) rather than a formula that is meant for statistical purposes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RECD099 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration of the condition type in the SAP system (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Ensure that the condition type you are using is compatible with the formula you are trying to apply. If the condition type is not meant for statistical conditions, you will need to either change the condition type or adjust the formula.
  
  
  
  Review the Formula:
  
  Verify that the formula you are using is indeed intended for statistical conditions. If it is not, you may need to create a new formula that is appropriate for the condition type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Records:
  
  If you have existing condition records that are causing the error, you may need to update or delete them to ensure they align with the correct condition type and formula usage.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to condition types and formulas to ensure you are using them correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the pricing or conditions are calculated as expected.
