• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/MAINTENANCE752 - Scale levels are not in ascending order ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/MAINTENANCE752 Scale levels are not in ascending order typically occurs in the context of condition maintenance, particularly when dealing with condition records in pricing, discounts, or other condition types. This error indicates that the scale levels defined for a condition record are not arranged in ascending order, which is a requirement for SAP to process them correctly.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect Scale Levels: The scale levels defined for a condition record are not in ascending order. For example, if you have scale levels defined as 10, 20, and 15, this will trigger the error because 15 is not in ascending order after 20.

  Check Scale Levels:
  
  Go to the condition record maintenance transaction (e.g., using transaction code VK11 for creating or VK12 for changing condition records).
  Review the scale levels defined for the condition type in question.

  Ensure that all scale levels are in ascending order. For example, if you have scale levels 10, 20, and 15, change them to 10, 15, and 20.
  You can delete the incorrect scale level and re-enter it in the correct order.
  
  
  
  Validation:
  
  After making changes, validate the condition record to ensure that the error no longer appears.
  Save the changes and check if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Data Migration:
