  The SAP error message SD_EXPRESSION070 indicates that there is an issue with the use of data types CURR (currency) and QUAN (quantity) in a specific context where they are not supported. This error typically arises in the context of pricing procedures, condition records, or when defining calculations in sales and distribution (SD) processes.
  Cause:
  
  Inappropriate Data Type Usage: The error occurs when you attempt to use CURR or QUAN data types in a context that does not support them, such as in certain formula calculations or conditions where only specific data types (like CHAR or NUMC) are allowed.
  Incorrect Configuration: It may also arise from incorrect configuration in pricing procedures or condition types where the system expects a different data type.
  Custom Logic: If there is custom logic or user-exits that manipulate pricing or conditions, they may inadvertently introduce CURR or QUAN in unsupported contexts.

  Review Pricing Procedure: Check the pricing procedure and ensure that the condition types are correctly defined. Make sure that CURR and QUAN are used only in appropriate places.
  Adjust Condition Types: If you are using CURR or QUAN in a calculation or condition that does not support them, consider changing the logic to use a supported data type.
  Check Custom Code: If there is custom code involved, review it to ensure that it does not attempt to use CURR or QUAN in unsupported contexts. Modify the code to handle these data types correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version you are using, as there may be updates or patches that address this issue.
