  SAP Error Message: VH003
  Text: You are not allowed to change conversion factors for condition type &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to change the conversion factor for a condition type in pricing, but the system settings or authorization do not permit such changes.
  
  Conversion factors in SAP pricing are used to convert quantities from one unit of measure to another (e.g., from pieces to kilograms).
  Certain condition types are configured to have fixed conversion factors that cannot be changed during document processing.
  The system enforces this restriction to maintain pricing consistency and avoid errors in calculations.
  The error can also occur if the user lacks the necessary authorization to modify the conversion factor for that condition type.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During sales order creation or change (transaction VA01/VA02).
  When maintaining condition records or pricing conditions.
  When trying to manually override or adjust the conversion factor for a condition type that is set as non-changeable.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types.
  Select the relevant condition type.
  Check the settings related to conversion factors.
  Some condition types have a flag that controls whether the conversion factor can be changed or not.
  If business requires changing the conversion factor, this setting might need to be adjusted (with caution).
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure and condition records are set up correctly.
  Sometimes, the condition type is designed to have a fixed conversion factor to avoid pricing inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify if the user has the necessary authorization to change conversion factors.
  Check roles and authorizations related to pricing and condition maintenance.
  
  
  
  Avoid Manual Changes:
  
  If the business process does not require changing the conversion factor, avoid manual changes.
  Use standard units of measure and conversion factors as maintained in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP SD/ Pricing Consultant:
  
  If changes are necessary, coordinate with the SAP SD or Pricing consultant to adjust the configuration properly.
