• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UPS_C895 - Only time-dependent conditions are permitted. ?

  The SAP error message UPS_C895: Only time-dependent conditions are permitted typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP, particularly when working with the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module or the SAP Pricing Engine. This error indicates that the system expects a time-dependent condition record, but the condition record being processed does not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Condition Record Type: The condition record you are trying to use is not set up as time-dependent. Time-dependent conditions require a validity period (start and end dates) to be defined.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the pricing procedure or the condition type may not allow for non-time-dependent conditions.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an error in the data entry where a time-dependent condition is expected, but a non-time-dependent condition is being referenced.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to the condition records for the relevant condition type (using transaction codes like VK11, VK12, or VK13).
  Ensure that the condition records are set up with valid start and end dates.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document. Ensure that the condition types used in the procedure are correctly configured to allow for time-dependent conditions.
  You can review the pricing procedure using transaction code V/08.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Type Settings:
  
  If you have access to configuration, you may need to adjust the settings of the condition type in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Condition Types and check the settings for the condition type in question.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific condition type and pricing procedures to ensure compliance with expected configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the pricing procedure again to ensure that the error is resolved.
