  SAP Error Message: VG229
  Text: Quotation number &1 has been determined for the selection
  
  1. Cause
  The message VG229 occurs in the context of SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM) when the system finds that a quotation number has already been determined or selected for a particular process or selection criteria.
  This typically happens when:
  
  You are trying to create or process a document (like a sales order or purchase order) and the system automatically finds an existing quotation number that matches the selection criteria.
  The system expects a unique quotation number but finds multiple or a specific quotation number already assigned.
  The quotation number is being reused or referenced in a way that conflicts with the current operation.
  
  In other words, the system is informing you that a quotation number has already been assigned or determined based on the selection parameters you have provided.
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the VG229 message, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Quotation Number: Verify the quotation number mentioned in the message (&1 is a placeholder for the actual number). Check if this quotation is valid and relevant for your current transaction.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using to fetch or assign quotations are correct and do not unintentionally select an existing quotation.
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Quotations: If you are trying to create a new quotation, make sure you are not duplicating an existing quotation number.
  
  
  Use Correct Document Flow: If you are referencing quotations in sales orders or purchase orders, ensure the document flow is consistent and quotations are correctly linked.
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings: Sometimes, this message can be influenced by configuration in the sales document types or quotation determination procedures. Review the customizing settings in:
  
  Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Document Types
  Quotation determination procedures and access sequences
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: If the issue persists, check SAP Notes for any known bugs or patches related to message VG229.
