• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/SY_CONFIG019 - Usage &1 has no scales but has scale base types ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/SY_CONFIG019 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the usage of scales in the condition management system. Specifically, the message states that a usage (likely a condition type or pricing procedure) has been defined without any scales, but it has been assigned scale base types. This inconsistency can lead to issues in pricing or condition processing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Scales: The usage in question has been defined to use scales (which are typically used for quantity-based pricing), but no scales have been configured for that usage.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the condition type or pricing procedure where the scale base types are assigned without corresponding scales.
  Inconsistent Data: The data in the condition records may not align with the expected configuration, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the condition type in transaction SPRO.
  Navigate to the relevant path: Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types.
  Ensure that the condition type has the appropriate scales defined if it is supposed to use them.
  
  
  
  Define Scales:
  
  If the condition type is intended to use scales, you need to define the scales for that condition type.
  You can do this in the same configuration area where you defined the condition type.
  
  
  
  Remove Scale Base Types:
  
  If the condition type is not supposed to use scales, you may need to remove the scale base types from the configuration of that condition type.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Review the condition records associated with the usage to ensure they are correctly set up.
  You can check condition records using transaction VK11 or VK12.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the pricing procedure to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on condition types and scales.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPRO (for configuration), VK11 (to create condition records), and VK12 (to change condition records).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message /SAPCND/SY_CONFIG019 and ensure that your condition management configuration is consistent and functional.
