  1. Cause of the Error

  2. Solution
  To resolve the VH503 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Pricing Document Existence:
  
  Verify if the pricing document exists for the sales document or vehicle document in question.
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) or VA03 (Display Sales Order) to check pricing details.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document is correctly configured.
  Check if all necessary condition types and condition records are maintained and valid for the document date and customer/material.
