• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCAJ018 - &1: system cannot read calculation formula of condition ?

  The SAP error message RESCAJ018 indicates that the system is unable to read the calculation formula of a condition. This error typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP, particularly in modules like Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM).
  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incomplete Condition Records: The condition record may not be fully defined or may be missing essential components.
  Incorrect Configuration: The pricing procedure or condition type may not be configured correctly, leading to issues in reading the calculation formula.
  Transport Issues: If the condition records or related configuration were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the condition records or the related calculation formula.
  Data Corruption: There may be corruption in the database or inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from reading the formula.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Condition Records: Verify that the condition records are correctly maintained. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out and that the calculation formula is defined.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the pricing procedure and condition types in the relevant customizing settings (SPRO). Ensure that the calculation formula is correctly defined and linked to the condition type.
  Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate problems with the transported objects.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify condition records. You can check this using transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Database Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to identify and resolve any corruption or inconsistencies. This may involve using transaction codes like SE14 or SE11 to check the database tables.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the pricing procedure to identify where the error occurs. This may require technical expertise.
