  SAP Error Message: VH523
  Message Text:
  
  Scales are not maintained for the condition record
  
  Cause
  The error message VH523 occurs when the system tries to determine a condition value (such as price, discount, surcharge) based on scales (quantity or value ranges), but no scales have been maintained for the relevant condition record.
  In other words, the condition record exists, but the scale values (e.g., quantity ranges or value ranges) that define how the condition applies at different quantities or values are missing.
  This typically happens in pricing or condition technique when:
  
  The condition type is configured to use scales.
  The condition record is created without any scale entries.
  The system expects scale entries to calculate the correct condition value but finds none.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order processing (VA01/VA02) or billing (VF01) when the system tries to determine pricing conditions.
  When a condition type is set up with scales (e.g., quantity scales) but the condition record is incomplete.
  When a pricing procedure includes a condition type that requires scales, but the scales are not maintained.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Maintain Scales for the Condition Record:
  
  Go to transaction VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition).
  Enter the condition type and key combination.
  Find the relevant condition record.
  Maintain the scale entries (e.g., quantity ranges and corresponding prices or discounts).
  Save the condition record.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types.
  Verify if the condition type is set to use scales.
  If scales are not required, adjust the condition type settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure the pricing procedure is correctly assigned and the condition type is properly included.
  Verify that the condition record matches the expected scale usage.
  
  
  
  If scales are not intended:
  
  Remove the scale requirement from the condition type.
  Or create condition records without scales if the business process allows.
