  SAP Error Message: VH794
  Text: Pricing element &1 (&2) cannot be used
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a pricing element (condition type or pricing element) that is not allowed or not valid in the current context is used in the pricing procedure or condition record. The system checks the validity of pricing elements based on configuration, master data, or business rules, and if a pricing element is restricted or incompatible, it triggers this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  The pricing element is not assigned or allowed in the pricing procedure.
  The pricing element is restricted by condition exclusion or condition type control.
  The pricing element is not valid for the sales document type, customer, material, or other master data.
  The pricing element is blocked or inactive in the system.
  Customizing settings or user exits have restricted the use of this pricing element.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the VH794 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction V/08 (Maintain Pricing Procedures).
  Verify if the pricing element (condition type) &1 is assigned to the pricing procedure used in the sales document.
  Ensure the pricing element is active and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Type Settings:
  
  Use transaction V/06 or V/07 to review the condition type &1.
  Verify if the condition type is valid for the sales document type, sales area, or customer/material group.
  Check if the condition type is blocked or restricted.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Exclusion and Access Sequences:
  
  Check if there are any condition exclusion rules that prevent the use of this pricing element.
  Verify the access sequence and condition records for the pricing element.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data Validity:
  
  Ensure that the pricing element is valid for the customer, material, or sales document.
  Check if any user exits or BAdIs are influencing pricing and restricting this element.
  
  
  
  Debug or Analyze User Exits / BAdIs:
  
  If custom logic is implemented, check if any user exits (e.g., USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK or USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP) or BAdIs are restricting the pricing element.
