  SAP Error Message:
  
  VF_PRC_CPF001 Parameter &1: Scale level &2 must be unique; check your entries
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you define condition scales (e.g., pricing scales, discounts, surcharges) in SAP and the scale levels are not unique. In other words, the system has detected duplicate scale levels for a particular condition parameter.
  For example, if you have a condition record with scale levels for quantity or value, and two or more entries have the same scale level, SAP throws this error because scale levels must be strictly increasing and unique to avoid ambiguity in pricing determination.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Parameter &1: The condition parameter (e.g., quantity, value, weight) for which the scale levels are defined.
  Scale level &2: The specific scale level value that is duplicated.
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  When maintaining condition records in transaction codes like VK11, VK12, VK13 (for pricing conditions).
  During pricing procedure configuration or condition record maintenance.
  In billing document creation if condition scales are involved.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the condition records for the condition type mentioned in the error.
  Ensure that all scale levels for the parameter are unique and strictly increasing.
  
  For example, if the scale parameter is quantity, the scale levels might be 1, 10, 20, 50, etc.
  You cannot have two scale levels both set to 10.
  
  
  Adjust or delete duplicate scale levels in the condition records.
  Save the corrected condition records.
  
  
  How to check and fix:
  
  Go to VK13 (Display Condition Records).
  Enter the condition type and relevant keys.
  Review the scale levels for the parameter mentioned in the error.
  If duplicates exist, go to VK12 (Change Condition Records) and correct the scale levels.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error ensures data integrity in pricing scales.
  Scale levels define the breakpoints for pricing conditions; duplicates would cause ambiguity in pricing determination.
  Always maintain scale levels in ascending order without duplicates.
  If you are using custom condition types or scales, verify the configuration in SPRO under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types and Scales.
