• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VH790 - Pricing element &1 (&2) is already assigned to sales doc. type &3 (&4) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VH790 Pricing element &1 (&2) is already assigned to sales doc. type &3 (&4)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a pricing element (condition type or pricing procedure element) to a sales document type, but the same pricing element is already assigned to that sales document type or another sales document type in a conflicting way.
  
  &1 = Pricing element (usually a condition type or pricing procedure element)
  &2 = Description or identifier of the pricing element
  &3 = Sales document type
  &4 = Description or identifier of the sales document type
  
  In other words, the system is preventing duplicate or conflicting assignments of the same pricing element to the same or incompatible sales document types.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  You are customizing pricing procedures or sales document types in transaction V/08 or V/07.
  You try to assign a condition type or pricing element to a sales document type where it already exists.
  There might be a conflict due to the same pricing element being assigned to multiple sales document types that are not allowed to share it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction V/08 (Assign Pricing Procedures to Sales Document Types).
  Check which pricing elements are assigned to the sales document type mentioned in the error.
  Verify if the pricing element &1 is already assigned to the sales document type &3 or another sales document type.
  
  
  
  Remove or Adjust Duplicate Assignments:
  
  If the pricing element is already assigned and you want to assign it again, reconsider if this is necessary.
  Remove the duplicate assignment if it is redundant.
  If you need the pricing element for multiple sales document types, check if this is allowed or if you need to create a new pricing element or sales document type.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure Configuration:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type.
  Ensure that the pricing element is correctly configured and not duplicated within the same procedure or across conflicting procedures.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation or Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address issues related to pricing element assignments.
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message VH790.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Pricing elements are typically condition types or condition table entries used in pricing procedures.
  Sales document types define the nature of sales documents (e.g., OR for standard order, RE for billing document).
  Proper assignment ensures pricing is calculated correctly and consistently.
  Misconfiguration can lead to pricing errors or incorrect pricing in sales documents.
