  SAP Error Message: VH520 - Header - Conditions
  
  1. Cause
  The error message VH520 typically occurs in the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module, specifically during the processing of sales documents (e.g., sales orders, deliveries, billing documents) involving pricing conditions at the header level.
  Cause:  
  
  The system expects certain header-level pricing conditions to be maintained or valid, but these conditions are either missing, incomplete, or inconsistent.
  This can happen if the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document requires header conditions that have not been entered or are not determined automatically.
  It may also occur if the condition records for header conditions are not maintained or if the condition types are not correctly configured in the pricing procedure.
  Sometimes, the error arises due to incorrect or missing condition records for header conditions or due to a mismatch in the condition control settings.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the VH520 - Header - Conditions error, follow these steps:
  a) Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Verify the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type and sales area.
  Ensure that the pricing procedure includes the required header condition types.
  
  b) Maintain Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK11 or VK12 to maintain or check the condition records for the header condition types.
  Ensure that valid condition records exist for the relevant sales area, customer, or other key fields.
  
  c) Check Condition Control:
  
  Verify the condition control settings in the pricing procedure.
  Ensure that the header condition types are correctly configured to be determined automatically or entered manually as required.
  
  d) Enter Header Conditions Manually:
  
  If the system does not determine header conditions automatically, enter them manually in the sales document header conditions tab.
  
  e) Check Access Sequences:
  
  Verify the access sequences assigned to the header condition types.
  Ensure that the access sequences are correctly maintained and can find valid condition records.
  
  f) Debug or Analyze Pricing:
  
  Use transaction VA02 (Change Sales Order) or VA01 (Create Sales Order) and check the pricing conditions tab.
  Use the pricing analysis function (F5 or the pricing button) to analyze how conditions are determined.
  If necessary, debug the pricing procedure to identify why header conditions are not determined.
