• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VH151 - Calculation type & is not allowed ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VH151 - Calculation type & is not allowed
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a calculation type that is not permitted or not defined in the pricing procedure or condition technique is used during pricing or condition determination. Essentially, the system is trying to apply a calculation type that is either invalid, missing, or not allowed in the current context.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  The calculation type assigned to a condition type is not maintained or is incorrect.  
  The pricing procedure includes a condition type with an invalid or unsupported calculation type.  
  Customizing errors in the condition technique or pricing procedure setup.
  
  
  Explanation of Calculation Types in SAP Pricing:
  Calculation types define how the condition value is calculated, for example:  
  
  Percentage on price  
  Fixed amount  
  Quantity-based calculation  
  Statistical value  
  Manual entry, etc.
  
  Each condition type in the pricing procedure is assigned a calculation type. If this assignment is missing or incorrect, SAP throws the VH151 error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Calculation Type in Condition Type:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (Define Condition Types).
  Select the condition type causing the error.
  Verify the Calculation Type field.
  Ensure that the calculation type is valid and correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to transaction V/08 (Pricing Procedure).
  Verify that the condition type with the problematic calculation type is correctly included.
  Ensure no invalid calculation types are assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Sometimes, condition records might have incorrect data.
  Use transaction VK11/VK12 to check condition records for the condition type.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Calculation Types:
  
  Use transaction V/07 to check the list of calculation types.
  Verify that the calculation type used is defined and allowed.
  
  
  
  If Custom Calculation Types are Used:
  
  Ensure that any custom calculation types are properly configured and supported.
  Check if any user-exits or enhancements are interfering with pricing.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the pricing routine might help identify where the invalid calculation type is coming from.
