How To Fix VH603 - Max. no. of accesses using active acc. sequences w/o exclusive indicator

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VH - SD pricing

• Message number: 603

• Message text: Max. no. of accesses using active acc. sequences w/o exclusive indicator

Access sequences without exclusion indicators
With these access sequences, all accesses are carried out on the
condition table.
This procedure is required in the following cases:

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

for prices
if the most favorable price is required (e.g. using standard computing
formula 14 in the pricing procedure).
for discounts
if the most favorable discount is required. This can only be done by
using additional condition exclusion groups.
If discounts are to be added, you have the following

Creating a condition table made up of the 'pre-compression' condition
records from the 'old' condition tables via Batch-Input. The access
sequence in pricing then only accesses this table.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VH603 - Max. no. of accesses using active acc. sequences w/o exclusive indicator ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message VH603:
  
  SAP Error Message: VH603
  Text: Max. no. of accesses using active access sequences w/o exclusive indicator
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the Pricing or Condition Technique area of SAP when the system detects that the maximum number of allowed accesses to condition records using active access sequences has been exceeded without the use of an exclusive indicator.
  
  In SAP pricing, condition records are accessed via access sequences.
  Each access sequence can have multiple condition tables.
  When the system tries to access condition records, it follows the access sequence steps.
  If too many accesses are performed without an exclusive indicator (which restricts access to a single condition record), the system throws this error to prevent performance issues or inconsistent pricing results.
  Essentially, the system is warning that the number of accesses to condition records is too high and no exclusive indicator is set to limit the search.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When condition records are maintained with overlapping validity or keys.
  When access sequences are designed in a way that causes multiple condition records to be read repeatedly.
  When the pricing procedure or condition technique is complex and leads to many accesses.
  When the exclusive indicator is not set on condition records that should be unique.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Review the condition records for the condition type involved.
  Ensure that condition records that should be unique have the exclusive indicator set.
  The exclusive indicator ensures that only one condition record is accessed for a given key combination.
  
  
  
  Review Access Sequences:
  
  Analyze the access sequence used by the condition type.
  Simplify or optimize the access sequence to reduce the number of accesses.
  Remove redundant or overlapping condition tables if possible.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check if the pricing procedure is causing multiple accesses unnecessarily.
  Simplify the pricing procedure or condition types if possible.
  
  
  
  Increase System Limits (Not Recommended):
  
  There are system parameters controlling the max number of accesses.
  Increasing these limits is generally not recommended as it may impact performance.
  Instead, focus on optimizing condition records and access sequences.
  
  
  
  Use Exclusive Indicator Properly:
  
  Set the exclusive indicator in condition records where only one record should be valid.
  This prevents multiple accesses and resolves the error.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to pricing and condition technique for any updates or patches.
  Sometimes, specific SAP versions have bugs related to condition technique.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use debugging in pricing routines to see which condition records are accessed.
  Analyze the sequence of accesses to identify problematic condition tables.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Too many accesses to condition records via active access sequences without exclusive indicator.
  
  
  Effect
  System throws VH603 error to prevent performance issues and inconsistent pricing.
  
  
  Solution
  Set exclusive indicator on condition records, optimize access sequences, simplify pricing procedure.
