• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RQ228 - Inverted rate entry active -> No input help possible in rate field ?

  The SAP error message RQ228 ("Inverted rate entry active -> No input help possible in rate field") typically occurs in the context of pricing or rate determination in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records in pricing procedures. This error indicates that the system has detected an inverted rate entry, which means that the rate is not defined in a way that allows for standard input help or selection.
  Cause:
  
  Inverted Rate Entry: This usually happens when the pricing condition records are set up in a way that the rate is defined in a non-standard manner (e.g., a negative rate or a rate that does not follow the expected format).
  Condition Records: There may be condition records that are incorrectly configured or missing, leading to the inability to provide input help for the rate field.
  Custom Logic: If there is custom logic or user exits that manipulate the pricing conditions, it may lead to this error if not handled properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records: 
  
  Go to the transaction code VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) and check the relevant condition records for the pricing procedure in question. Ensure that the rates are defined correctly and are not inverted.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the relevant sales document type or purchasing document type. Ensure that the condition types are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting entries.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you have access to configuration, navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) and review the settings for pricing conditions. Ensure that the condition types are configured correctly and that there are no inverted entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to pricing and condition records to understand if there are any specific requirements or known issues related to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the pricing logic to identify where the inverted rate entry is being triggered. This may require assistance from a technical consultant.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
