• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOA_SD052 - Cond. type &1 is per mille by default. You can't enter values. ?

  The SAP error message SOA_SD052 indicates that you are trying to enter a value for a condition type that is defined as a per mille (‰) condition type by default. In SAP, per mille condition types are used to represent values as a fraction of 1000, which means that the system expects the values to be entered in a specific format.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to enter a value for a condition type that is configured to accept only per mille values.
  The system does not allow you to enter a value in the standard format (e.g., as a percentage or absolute value) because it expects the value to be in per mille.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the condition type configuration in the SAP system (Transaction code: V/06).
  Look for the condition type that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Verify that it is indeed set up as a per mille condition type.
  
  
  
  Enter Values in Per Mille:
  
  When entering values for the condition type, ensure that you are entering them in the correct format. For example, if you want to enter a value of 5%, you should enter it as 50 (since 5% is equivalent to 50 per mille).
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure associated with the sales document. Ensure that the condition type is correctly included and that the expected value format aligns with the overall pricing strategy.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Help:
  
  If you are unsure about how to enter values or how the condition type is configured, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Type if Necessary:
  
  If the condition type is not supposed to be a per mille type, you may need to adjust its configuration. This should be done with caution and typically requires authorization.
