  SAP Error Message:
  VF_PRC_QTYADJUSTMENT201 Switch &1 must be active for use of condition type &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during billing or pricing in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) when a condition type is used that requires a specific switch (pricing or quantity adjustment indicator) to be active in the system configuration, but it is currently inactive.
  
  &1 refers to the switch or indicator that must be active.
  &2 refers to the condition type being used.
  
  In other words, the system is telling you that the condition type you are trying to apply requires a particular setting (switch) to be enabled in the pricing procedure or configuration, but this setting is currently not active.
  
  Common Scenario:
  
  You are trying to use a condition type that involves quantity adjustments or special pricing logic.
  The system checks if the relevant switch (e.g., quantity adjustment switch, pricing switch) is active.
  If the switch is inactive, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent pricing or billing.
  
  
  Cause Details:
  
  The switch might be a pricing procedure indicator, quantity adjustment indicator, or a billing relevance switch.
  This switch is usually maintained in customizing under Pricing or Billing settings.
  The condition type requires this switch to be active to function properly.
  
  
  How to Find the Switch & Condition Type:
  
  The error message will show the exact switch name and condition type.
  For example, the message might say:
  
  "Switch QTYADJ must be active for use of condition type ZDIS"
  
  Here, "QTYADJ" is the switch, and "ZDIS" is the condition type.
  
  
  Solution / Resolution:
  
  
  Check the Condition Type:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (Maintain Condition Types).
  Look up the condition type mentioned (&2).
  Verify if it requires a specific switch or indicator.
  
  
  
  Check the Switch Settings:
  
  The switch is often maintained in the pricing procedure or billing configuration.
  Common places to check:
  
  Transaction V/08 (Pricing Procedure)
  Transaction OVKK (Billing Document Types)
  Transaction V/07 (Access Sequences)
  Transaction V/06 (Condition Types)
  Or in IMG under:
  
  SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control
  
  
  
  
  
  Activate the Required Switch:
  
  Navigate to the IMG path relevant to the switch.
  For example, if the switch is related to quantity adjustment, activate the quantity adjustment indicator for the relevant pricing procedure or billing document type.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Billing or Pricing Document Again:
  
  After activating the switch, retry the billing or pricing process.
  The error should no longer appear.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  Activating switches incorrectly can affect pricing or billing logic, so ensure you understand the business impact.
  Consult with your SAP SD or Pricing consultant if unsure.
  Sometimes, the switch is related to quantity-based pricing or quantity adjustments in billing.
  Documentation or SAP Notes related to the specific condition type may provide more insights.
