• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REISPF016 - Condition purpose is not entered ?

  The SAP error message REISPF016, which states "Condition purpose is not entered," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in the SAP system, particularly when working with the pricing procedure in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM).
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when:
  
  A condition record is being created or modified, and the "Condition Purpose" field is left blank.
  The system requires a specific condition purpose to determine how the condition should be applied in pricing calculations.
  The configuration of the pricing procedure does not allow for the condition to be processed without a defined purpose.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Navigate to the transaction where you are trying to create or modify the condition (e.g., VK11 for creating condition records).
  Ensure that the "Condition Purpose" field is filled in. This field is often required for certain types of conditions.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the pricing procedure (Transaction: SPRO).
  Check the settings for the relevant pricing procedure to ensure that the condition types are correctly configured and that the condition purpose is defined.
  
  
  
  Maintain Condition Types:
  
  If you are creating a new condition type, ensure that it is properly configured in the system, including the condition purpose.
  You can do this by navigating to the condition type settings in the configuration (Transaction: SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct condition purpose to use, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance on the specific business requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
