• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPC02551 - Only one discount percent (DIS or PDP) should be present ?

  The SAP error message SPC02551, which states "Only one discount percent (DIS or PDP) should be present," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales documents, such as sales orders or quotations. This error indicates that there is a conflict between two types of discount percentages that are being applied to a sales document: the standard discount (DIS) and the promotional discount (PDP).
  Cause:
  The error arises when both discount types are present in the pricing conditions of a sales document. SAP expects that only one of these discount types should be applied at a time to avoid confusion in pricing calculations. 
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Pricing Conditions: Check the pricing conditions in the sales document. Look for both DIS and PDP entries. You can do this by navigating to the pricing conditions in the document and reviewing the condition types.
  
  
  Remove One Discount Type: Decide which discount type is appropriate for the transaction. You will need to remove either the DIS or the PDP condition from the pricing conditions. This can typically be done by:
  
  Going to the sales order or quotation.
  Accessing the pricing conditions section.
  Deleting or adjusting the condition that you do not want to apply.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records: If the discounts are being applied automatically based on condition records, ensure that the condition records are set up correctly. You may need to adjust the condition records to prevent both discounts from being applied simultaneously.
  
  
  Consult with Pricing Team: If you are unsure which discount to keep or how to adjust the pricing conditions, consult with your pricing or sales team to ensure that the correct discount is applied according to business rules.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, try to save or process the sales document again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Condition Types: Understand the difference between DIS (Discount) and PDP (Promotional Discount) and when each should be used.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on pricing conditions and how to manage them.
  User Exits or Enhancements: In some cases, custom logic may be implemented that affects how discounts are applied. Check if any user exits or enhancements are influencing the pricing conditions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SPC02551 error and ensure that your sales documents are processed correctly.
