• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING003 - Priority valuation is mandatory for access mode 'A' ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/CUSTOMIZING003 Priority valuation is mandatory for access mode 'A' typically occurs in the context of condition technique in SAP, particularly when dealing with pricing or condition records. This error indicates that the system requires a priority valuation for the access sequence that is being used, but it has not been defined.
  Cause:
  
  Access Sequence Configuration: The access sequence used in the pricing procedure or condition record is set to access mode 'A' (which usually means that it is looking for a specific priority valuation), but the necessary priority valuation has not been defined in the configuration.
  Missing Priority Valuation: The condition records or the access sequence may not have the required priority valuation set up, which is necessary for the system to determine the correct pricing or conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Access Sequence:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/07 (for pricing) or V/08 (for condition types) in SAP.
  Find the access sequence that is being used and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the access sequence is correctly set up to include priority valuation.
  
  
  
  Define Priority Valuation:
  
  If the access sequence is set to require priority valuation, you need to define it.
  Go to the transaction code V/06 to maintain the condition types and ensure that the priority valuation is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Check the condition records for the relevant condition type to ensure that they have the necessary priority valuation defined.
  You can use transaction codes like VK11 (to create) or VK12 (to change) to manage condition records.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to condition technique and access sequences for more detailed guidance on setting up priority valuations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the pricing procedure again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
