VK004
- Scales cannot be defined for condition type & ?The SAP error message VK004 ("Scales cannot be defined for condition type &") typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when working with condition types that are not configured to use scales. This error indicates that the system is trying to apply a scale to a condition type that does not support it.
Cause:
- Condition Type Configuration: The condition type you are trying to use is not set up to allow scales. Scales are typically used for pricing conditions that require quantity-based pricing, but not all condition types support this feature.
- Incorrect Condition Type Usage: You may be trying to apply a scale to a condition type that is not intended for that purpose.
- Missing Configuration: The necessary configuration for scales may not have been completed in the pricing procedure.
Solution:
Check Condition Type Configuration:
- Go to the transaction code
V/06
(Change Condition Types).- Find the condition type that is causing the error.
- Check the settings for the condition type and ensure that the "Scale" option is enabled if you intend to use scales.
Review Pricing Procedure:
- Use transaction code
V/08
(Change Pricing Procedure) to review the pricing procedure that includes the condition type.- Ensure that the condition type is correctly assigned and that the scales are configured properly.
Use Appropriate Condition Type:
- If the condition type is not meant to use scales, consider using a different condition type that supports scales for your pricing needs.
Consult Documentation:
- Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the specific requirements and configurations for the condition types you are using.
Testing:
- After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that the pricing behaves as expected.
