  Error Message
  VH500 - Unit & missing for condition type &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during pricing or condition processing in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM) when a condition type requires a unit of measure (UoM) but the system does not find it.
  Specifically:
  
  The condition type configured in the pricing procedure expects a unit (e.g., per piece, per kg, per liter).
  The unit is missing or not maintained in the condition record or the document item.
  This can happen if the condition record is created without specifying the unit or if the sales document item does not have a valid unit assigned.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order creation or pricing determination.
  When the system tries to read or apply a condition record that requires a unit but the unit is not available.
  When condition records are maintained without units for condition types that require them.
  When the material master or sales document item does not have a valid unit of measure.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to transaction VK11/VK12 (Create/Change Condition Records).
  Verify that the condition records for the condition type mentioned in the error have the unit of measure maintained.
  If the condition type requires a unit, ensure that the unit is entered correctly in the condition record.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types.
  Check the settings for the condition type in question.
  Verify if the condition type requires a unit of measure (check the "Unit" indicator).
  If the condition type requires a unit, ensure that the unit is maintained in the condition records and sales document.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Document Item:
  
  Verify that the sales order or billing document item has a valid unit of measure.
  The unit should be consistent with the unit expected by the condition type.
  
  
  
  Material Master Check:
  
  Check the material master (MM03) for the material involved.
  Ensure that the base unit of measure and sales unit of measure are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Correct Condition Records:
  
  If condition records are missing units, recreate or update them with the correct unit.
  
  
  
  Debugging (if needed):
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the pricing routine or condition determination can help identify where the unit is missing.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Condition Types and Units: Some condition types are defined to be calculated per unit (e.g., per piece, per kg). If the unit is missing, the system cannot calculate the price or discount correctly.
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure controls which condition types are applied and how. Ensuring consistency between condition types, condition records, and document data is crucial.
  Common Condition Types Requiring Units: PR00 (Price), K004 (Material Discount), etc., often require units.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to pricing and condition records if the problem persists.
