• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01023 - Minimum quantity must be a multiple of the rounding quantity ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VHU01023: Minimum quantity must be a multiple of the rounding quantity:
  
  Error Message:
  VHU01023 - Minimum quantity must be a multiple of the rounding quantity
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to maintain or process a condition record (such as pricing, discounts, surcharges, or freight conditions) where the minimum quantity specified is not a multiple of the rounding quantity defined in the condition record or condition type.
  
  Minimum quantity: The smallest quantity for which the condition is valid.
  Rounding quantity: The quantity increment to which the minimum quantity must conform.
  
  SAP requires that the minimum quantity be an exact multiple of the rounding quantity to ensure consistent and logical pricing calculations.
  
  Where it typically occurs:
  
  When maintaining condition records in transaction VK11/VK12/VK13 (Condition Maintenance).
  In pricing procedures where quantity-based conditions are used.
  In sales order processing if condition records are checked dynamically.
  
  
  Example:
  
  Rounding quantity = 5
  Minimum quantity = 7  ? This will trigger the error because 7 is not a multiple of 5.
  Minimum quantity = 10 ? This is valid because 10 is a multiple of 5.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust the Minimum Quantity:
  
  Change the minimum quantity to a value that is a multiple of the rounding quantity.
  For example, if rounding quantity is 5, set minimum quantity to 5, 10, 15, etc.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Rounding Quantity:
  
  If business requirements allow, change the rounding quantity to a value that fits the minimum quantity.
  For example, if minimum quantity is 7, set rounding quantity to 1 or 7.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK11/VK12 to review and correct the condition records.
  Ensure that the minimum quantity and rounding quantity fields are consistent.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  If the error occurs during sales order processing, check the pricing procedure and condition types for rounding settings.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Rounding quantity is maintained in the condition record under the "Rounding" tab or field.
  This setting helps SAP to round quantities for pricing calculations, ensuring prices apply correctly for quantity intervals.
  The error ensures data integrity and prevents illogical pricing scenarios.
  If you are unsure about the correct values, consult with your pricing or sales configuration team.
