• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VH604 - The pricing procedure has exclustion groups with < 4 conditions ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VH604 - The pricing procedure has exclusion groups with < 4 conditions
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP SD pricing when the pricing procedure contains exclusion groups that have fewer than 4 conditions assigned to them. According to SAP standard, an exclusion group should have at least 4 conditions to function correctly. If the number of conditions in an exclusion group is less than 4, the system raises this error to prevent inconsistent or incomplete pricing logic.
  Background:  
  
  Exclusion groups are used in pricing procedures to define sets of conditions where only one condition from the group can be applied (mutually exclusive conditions).  
  SAP expects a minimum of 4 conditions in an exclusion group to ensure proper evaluation and exclusion logic.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to transaction V/08 (Maintain Pricing Procedures).
  Select the pricing procedure in question.
  
  
  
  Review Exclusion Groups:
  
  Identify the exclusion groups defined in the pricing procedure.
  Check the number of conditions assigned to each exclusion group.
  
  
  
  Add Conditions:
  
  If an exclusion group has fewer than 4 conditions, add the necessary conditions to meet the minimum requirement.
  Alternatively, if the exclusion group is not needed, consider removing the exclusion group assignment from the conditions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure is consistent and logically correct.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Pricing:
  
  Create or simulate a sales document to verify that the error no longer occurs.
