VE216 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VE - Message ID for condition analysis

• Message number: 216

• Message text: Condition value has been taken from preceding document

Condition types (e.g. VPRS), which have been provided with the condition
category 'G', determine your condition amount either from the material
evaluation segment or the amount is calculated from the condition value.
Therefore the condition value - possibly a billing document - can be
determined from the goods issue or in third-party order processing of a
preceding document, for example, from the supplier billing document.
In this case, the condition rate was calculated from the submitted
condition value.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VE216 - Condition value has been taken from preceding document ?

  The SAP error message VE216 ("Condition value has been taken from preceding document") typically occurs in the context of pricing and conditions in sales documents, such as sales orders or billing documents. This message indicates that the system is using a condition value from a previous document instead of calculating a new one based on the current document's conditions.
  
  Cause:
  
  Document Flow: The error often arises when there is a document flow where the current document is referencing a previous document (like a quotation or another sales order) that has already established certain pricing conditions.
  Condition Records: The pricing conditions may not be set up correctly for the current document, leading the system to default to the values from the preceding document.
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure defined for the current document may not allow for recalculation of certain conditions, or the conditions may be set to be copied from the preceding document.
