  SAP Error Message: VH509
  Message Text:
  
  Condition record not found for key (or similar wording depending on the module/version)
  
  1. Cause of the Error
  The error VH509 typically occurs during the condition determination process in SAP pricing or output determination. It means that the system could not find a valid condition record for the specified key combination during the pricing or output determination procedure.
  In detail:
  
  The system is trying to find a condition record (e.g., price, discount, surcharge, output type) based on the condition technique.
  The key combination used for searching the condition record (such as customer/material/price list/date) does not match any existing condition record in the system.
  This can happen if:
  
  The condition records have not been created or maintained.
  The validity period of the condition record does not cover the document date.
  The condition tables or access sequences are not properly configured.
  The condition type is not assigned correctly in the pricing procedure or output determination procedure.
  The key fields in the condition record do not match the data in the transaction.
  
  
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the VH509 error, follow these steps:
  a) Check Condition Records
  
  Go to transaction VK11 (Create), VK12 (Change), or VK13 (Display) for pricing conditions.
  Verify if the condition records exist for the relevant condition type.
  Check the validity dates to ensure the condition record is valid for the document date.
  Ensure the key fields (e.g., customer, material, sales org) match the data in the sales document.
  
  b) Verify Condition Technique Configuration
  
  Check the Access Sequence assigned to the condition type in transaction V/06.
  Ensure the access sequence includes the correct condition tables.
  Verify the condition tables contain the necessary fields for the key combination.
  
  c) Check Pricing Procedure or Output Determination Procedure
  
  Ensure the condition type is included in the pricing procedure (transaction V/08) or output determination procedure.
  Confirm the procedure is assigned to the relevant sales area or application.
  
  d) Check Document Data
  
  Verify the data in the sales document or transaction matches the key fields used in the condition records.
  For example, if the condition record is maintained for a specific customer/material combination, ensure the sales document uses the same.
  
  e) Recreate or Maintain Missing Condition Records
  
  If condition records are missing, create them with the correct key combinations and validity periods.
