  SAP Error Message:
  VH547 Pricing error: Commodity pricing is not supported (condition type &1).
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during pricing in the Sales and Distribution (SD) or Transportation (LE-TRA) module when the system encounters a condition type that is set up for commodity pricing, but the pricing procedure or the system configuration does not support commodity pricing for that condition type.
  Commodity pricing is a special pricing method used for materials classified as commodities, where prices are determined based on commodity market prices or indexes rather than standard condition records.
  The error typically means:
  
  The condition type specified (&1) is defined as a commodity pricing condition type.

  Check the Condition Type Configuration:

  Ensure that commodity pricing is activated in the system.

  Verify that the commodity index and pricing data are maintained correctly.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Remove Commodity Pricing Indicator:
