• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPE_PRICING_ANALYSIS116 - Subtotal exists and was not added again ?

  The SAP error message SPE_PRICING_ANALYSIS116 indicates that a subtotal already exists in the pricing procedure, and the system is attempting to add it again, which is not allowed. This error typically occurs during the pricing determination process in sales documents (like sales orders or quotations) when the system tries to calculate pricing conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Subtotals: The pricing procedure defined for the sales document includes a subtotal condition that is already present in the pricing calculation. This can happen if the pricing procedure is incorrectly configured or if there are multiple conditions that are trying to calculate the same subtotal.
  Incorrect Condition Types: The condition types in the pricing procedure may not be set up correctly, leading to the same subtotal being calculated multiple times.
  Custom Logic: If there is custom logic (user exits, BAdIs, etc.) that modifies the pricing procedure or condition types, it may inadvertently cause the same subtotal to be added again.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure: Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type. Ensure that the subtotal conditions are defined correctly and that there are no duplicates.
  
  Go to Transaction code: V/08 to view and edit the pricing procedure.
  Look for the subtotal conditions and ensure they are not repeated.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Types: Verify the condition types used in the pricing procedure. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that they do not overlap in functionality.
  
  Use Transaction code: V/06 to check the condition types and their settings.
  
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the pricing logic to identify where the duplicate subtotal is being introduced. This may involve checking any custom code that interacts with the pricing procedure.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to pricing procedures and subtotals for any specific guidance or known issues.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the pricing procedure with various scenarios to ensure that the error does not occur again.
