• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_API026 - Price element &1: Fields KPEIN and KMEIN filled for calculation type &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VF_PRC_API026
  
  Text: Price element &1: Fields KPEIN and KMEIN filled for calculation type &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during billing or pricing processing when both fields KPEIN (Condition Price Unit) and KMEIN (Condition Unit) are filled for a price element (condition type) that does not allow both fields to be filled simultaneously for the given calculation type.
  
  KPEIN: Specifies the unit in which the condition price is defined (e.g., price per 100 units).
  KMEIN: Specifies the unit of measure for the condition (e.g., pieces, kg).
  
  For certain calculation types, SAP expects only one of these fields to be filled, or expects them to be empty, depending on the pricing procedure and condition type configuration.
  If both fields are filled incorrectly, the system cannot determine how to calculate the price correctly, leading to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During billing document creation or pricing procedure execution.
  When a condition record or pricing element has inconsistent unit data.
  When custom pricing routines or user exits incorrectly populate these fields.
  When the pricing procedure or condition type is not configured to handle both units simultaneously.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check the Pricing Procedure and Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (Condition Types) and check the condition type used.
  Verify if the condition type supports the use of KPEIN and KMEIN fields.
  Usually, for calculation types like "fixed price" or "percentage," only one unit field should be filled.
  
  
  
  Review the Pricing Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK11/VK12 to check the condition records.
  Ensure that the units entered in the condition records are consistent and do not fill both KPEIN and KMEIN unless explicitly allowed.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Pricing Routines/User Exits:
  
  If custom code is used (e.g., in user exits like USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK or BAdIs), verify that the logic does not fill both fields incorrectly.
  Adjust the code to fill only the appropriate unit field based on the calculation type.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Billing Document or Sales Document Data:
  
  Sometimes, the sales document or billing document item data might have inconsistent units.
  Check the sales order item and billing item for unit of measure fields and correct them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to VF_PRC_API026 for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  KPEIN (Condition Price Unit) and KMEIN (Condition Unit) are important for pricing calculations involving different units.
  Calculation types in pricing determine how the price is calculated (e.g., per unit, per 100 units, percentage).
  The error message is a safeguard to prevent ambiguous pricing calculations.
  Transaction codes to check pricing:
  
  V/06 - Condition Types
  VK11/VK12 - Condition Records
  VA01/VA02 - Sales Order
  VF01/VF02 - Billing Document
