  SAP Error Message:
  VH157 - Subtotal indicator & is not implemented
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system encounters a subtotal indicator in a pricing procedure or condition record that is not defined or implemented in the system. In SAP pricing, subtotal indicators are used to control the calculation and display of subtotals in pricing documents (e.g., sales orders, billing documents). If a subtotal indicator referenced in the pricing procedure or condition type is missing or incorrectly maintained, the system cannot process it and throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Subtotal indicators are assigned to condition types in pricing procedures to group and subtotal condition values.
  If a subtotal indicator used in a condition type or pricing procedure step is not defined in the system (e.g., in the customizing for pricing subtotals), the system cannot calculate or display the subtotal, resulting in this error.
  This often happens after customizing changes, transport issues, or incorrect manual entries.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Subtotal Indicator
