  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VH546 - Pricing error: CPF is not supported (condition type &1). ?

    The SAP error message:

    VH546 Pricing error: CPF is not supported (condition type &1).


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs during pricing in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module when the system encounters a condition type that requires a Customer Pricing Procedure (CPF), but the CPF is either not maintained or not supported for the given condition type.

    • CPF (Customer Pricing Procedure) is a pricing procedure assigned at the customer level, allowing different pricing procedures for different customers.
    • The error indicates that the condition type referenced (passed as &1 in the message) is expected to be processed via CPF, but the system cannot find or does not support CPF for this condition type.
    • This usually happens if the pricing procedure determination is inconsistent or incomplete, or if the condition type is not correctly configured to work with CPF.

    When does it occur?

    • During sales order creation or pricing determination.
    • When the system tries to apply a condition type that requires CPF but CPF is missing or not applicable.
    • Often seen in scenarios where customer-specific pricing procedures are used but not properly maintained.

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check Customer Pricing Procedure (CPF) assignment:

      • Go to transaction VD02 (Change Customer) or VD03 (Display Customer).
      • Navigate to the Sales Area Data ? Pricing tab.
      • Verify if a Customer Pricing Procedure is assigned.
      • If missing, assign the correct CPF.
    2. Verify Condition Type Configuration:

      • Use transaction V/06 to check the condition type.
      • Confirm if the condition type is set to be used with CPF.
      • If the condition type is not supposed to use CPF, adjust the configuration accordingly.
    3. Check Pricing Procedure Determination:

      • Use transaction V/08 to check the pricing procedure determination.
      • Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the customer and sales area is consistent.
      • If CPF is used, ensure that the pricing procedure is maintained at the customer level.
    4. Review Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:

      • Check if condition records exist for the condition type and customer.
      • Use transaction VK11 or VK13 to maintain or display condition records.
    5. Debug / Trace Pricing:

      • Use transaction VK12 or VA02 and check pricing analysis (F8 in pricing screen) to see how pricing procedures and condition types are determined.
      • This can help identify where the CPF is expected but missing.
