SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VH - SD pricing

• Message number: 543

• Message text: Pricing error: Multi-dimensional scales not supported (cond. type &1).

What causes this issue?

Multi-dimensional scales are activated in Customizing for the condition
type &V1&.
If pricing is called from SAP S/4HANA for customer management, this
function is not supported.

System Response

Condition record is deactivated and a pricing error is raised. This
means that your business transaction cannot be completed.

How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Procedure for System Administrators

Deactivate the multi-dimensional scales function in Customizing for the
condition type.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VH543 - Pricing error: Multi-dimensional scales not supported (cond. type &1). ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VH543 Pricing error: Multi-dimensional scales not supported (cond. type &1).
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during pricing in Sales and Distribution (SD) when a condition type is defined with multi-dimensional scales, but the pricing procedure or the system does not support multi-dimensional scales for that condition type.
  Multi-dimensional scales refer to condition scales that depend on more than one parameter, for example, scales based on both quantity and value or quantity and weight simultaneously.
  SAP standard pricing supports only one-dimensional scales (e.g., scales based on quantity or value, but not both combined). If a condition type is maintained with multi-dimensional scales, the system throws this error during pricing.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The condition type (&1 in the message is a placeholder for the actual condition type) has been maintained with multi-dimensional scales in transaction VK11/VK12.
  When the pricing procedure tries to determine the price, it encounters this unsupported scale type.
  SAP SD pricing engine cannot process multi-dimensional scales, hence the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the condition type scales:
  
  Go to transaction VK11 or VK12.
  Enter the condition type mentioned in the error message.
  Review the scales maintained for this condition type.
  
  
  
  Remove multi-dimensional scales:
  
  If you find scales maintained on more than one dimension (e.g., quantity and value), you need to remove or adjust them.
  Maintain scales only on a single dimension (usually quantity or value).
  
  
  
  Adjust pricing procedure or condition technique:
  
  If multi-dimensional scaling is business-critical, consider alternative approaches such as:
  
  Splitting the condition type into multiple condition types each with one-dimensional scales.
  Using formulas or routines in pricing to simulate multi-dimensional scaling logic.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check OSS Notes:
  
  Sometimes SAP releases notes or patches related to pricing and scaling issues. Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant OSS notes.
