  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_QTYADJUSTMENT002 - Scale basis &1 is not supported for calculation type &2 ?

    The SAP error message:

    VF_PRC_QTYADJUSTMENT002 Scale basis &1 is not supported for calculation type &2

    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs during billing document processing (transaction VF01, VF02, or VF03) when the system tries to perform a quantity-based price adjustment but encounters an unsupported combination of Scale Basis and Calculation Type in the pricing procedure.

    • Scale Basis refers to the basis on which the scale (price adjustment) is applied, such as quantity, value, or weight.
    • Calculation Type refers to the method used to calculate the price adjustment (e.g., percentage, fixed amount, or quantity-based).

    The error indicates that the system does not support the specified scale basis for the given calculation type in the pricing procedure configuration.

    Typical Causes:

    1. Incorrect Pricing Procedure Configuration:
      The pricing procedure includes a condition type with a calculation type that does not support the scale basis defined for quantity adjustments.

    2. Incompatible Condition Type Settings:
      The condition type used for quantity adjustment is not set up correctly in the condition master data or pricing procedure.

    3. Custom or Standard Condition Types Misconfiguration:
      Custom condition types or standard ones may have been assigned incompatible scale basis or calculation types.

    Where to Check / Solution:

    1. Check the Pricing Procedure:

      • Go to transaction V/08 (Maintain Pricing Procedures).
      • Identify the condition type causing the issue.
      • Check the Calculation Type assigned to the condition type.
    2. Check Condition Type Settings:

      • Use transaction V/06 (Condition Types).
      • Select the condition type and check the Calculation Type field.
      • Verify if the calculation type supports the scale basis used.
    3. Check Scale Basis Settings:

      • In the pricing procedure, check the scale basis assigned to the condition type.
      • The scale basis is usually defined in the condition type or in the pricing procedure step.
    4. Adjust Configuration:

      • If the scale basis is not supported for the calculation type, either:
        • Change the scale basis to one supported by the calculation type.
        • Or change the calculation type to one that supports the scale basis.
    5. Refer to SAP Notes / Documentation:

      • SAP Note 108011 or related notes may provide guidance on supported scale basis and calculation type combinations.
      • Consult SAP Help Portal for pricing procedure and condition type configuration details.

    Additional Information:

    • Calculation Types examples:
      • 1 = Percentage
      • 2 = Fixed amount
      • 3 = Quantity-based
    • Scale Basis examples:
      • 1 = Quantity
      • 2 = Value
      • 3 = Weight

    The exact values depend on your SAP system and configuration.

    Summary:

    • The error means the system cannot apply the quantity adjustment because the scale basis and calculation type combination is invalid.
    • Review and correct the pricing procedure and condition type configuration to ensure compatible scale basis and calculation type.
    • Test the billing document creation after correction.

    If you provide the exact values for &1 (scale basis) and &2 (calculation type) from the error message, I can help you identify the exact mismatch.
