  Error Message
  VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT004: You cannot assign a conversion factor to condition &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to assign a conversion factor to a condition type in the billing document or pricing procedure where such an assignment is not allowed. 
  In SAP pricing, certain condition types do not support quantity conversion factors because they are either fixed amounts or calculated in a way that does not depend on quantity conversion. Attempting to assign a conversion factor to these condition types leads to this error.
  
  Explanation
  
  Conversion Factor in pricing is used to convert quantities from one unit of measure to another (e.g., from pieces to boxes).
  Not all condition types support quantity conversion factors. For example, condition types that represent fixed surcharges, discounts, or taxes often do not allow conversion factors.
  The system checks the condition type configuration and if it is not set up to allow conversion factors, it throws this error.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (Define Condition Types).
  Select the condition type mentioned in the error message (replace &1 with the actual condition type).
  Check the settings related to quantity conversion:
  
  Look for the field "Quantity Conversion Allowed" or similar.
  If the condition type is not supposed to have a conversion factor, do not assign one.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Procedure or Condition Records:
  
  If you mistakenly assigned a conversion factor in the pricing procedure or condition record, remove it.
  Ensure that the condition record or pricing procedure does not specify a conversion factor for this condition type.
  
  
  
  Review the Business Requirement:
  
  If a conversion factor is necessary for this condition type, you may need to reconsider the pricing design.
  Possibly create a new condition type that supports conversion factors or adjust the pricing logic.
  
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure (UoM) Settings:
  
  Sometimes, the error can be triggered by inconsistent UoM settings between the sales document and condition records.
  Verify that the units of measure are consistent and properly maintained in the material master and condition records.
