  VH792 - Pricing element 01 (list price) cannot be used
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during pricing in sales documents when the system tries to use the pricing element "01" (List Price), but it is not allowed or not valid in the current pricing procedure or condition technique setup.
  Common causes include:
  
  The pricing procedure assigned to the sales document does not allow the use of condition type "PR00" (List Price).
  The condition type "PR00" is not maintained or is excluded in the pricing procedure.
  The condition record for the list price is missing or invalid.
  The pricing element "01" is not correctly defined or is restricted in the pricing procedure.
  The sales document type or item category does not permit the use of the list price condition type.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, check and correct the pricing configuration and master data as follows:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to transaction V/08 (Define Pricing Procedures).
  Verify that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type includes condition type PR00 (List Price).
  Ensure that the condition type PR00 is active and not excluded.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Type PR00:
  
  Use transaction V/06 to check the condition type PR00.
  Verify that it is set up correctly and allowed in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Access Sequence and Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction V/07 to check the access sequence for PR00.
  Use transaction VK11 or VK13 to verify that condition records for PR00 exist for the relevant sales organization, distribution channel, material, etc.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Document and Item Category:
  
  Verify that the sales document type and item category allow the use of pricing element 01.
  Check the pricing procedure determination for the sales document type and sales area (transaction OVKK).
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Element Configuration:
  
  In transaction V/08, check the pricing elements assigned to the pricing procedure.
  Ensure that pricing element "01" corresponds to condition type PR00 and is not blocked or set as statistical only.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes custom code or user exits may block or modify pricing elements.
  Review any custom logic in user exits like USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK or USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP.
