• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VK037 - &1 falls below the limit &2 for condition type &3 ?

  The SAP error message VK037 indicates that a certain value for a condition type in pricing falls below a predefined limit. This typically occurs during the pricing procedure in sales documents (like sales orders or quotations) when the calculated price or discount does not meet the minimum threshold set for that condition type.
  Cause:
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type (e.g., discounts, surcharges) has a minimum limit defined in its configuration. If the calculated value for that condition type is less than this limit, the error is triggered.
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure being used may have specific rules that enforce minimum values for certain conditions.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the customer, material, or pricing conditions may not be set up correctly, leading to unexpected pricing calculations.
  Manual Entries: If a user manually enters a value that is below the limit, this error will also occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Condition Type Settings:
  
  Go to the condition type configuration in the SAP system (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Check the settings for the specific condition type (e.g., VK11 for creating conditions) and verify the minimum limit defined.
  If necessary, adjust the limit to allow for lower values, or ensure that the pricing calculations are set up to meet the existing limit.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type. Ensure that the conditions are correctly configured and that the minimum limits are appropriate for your business needs.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the master data for the customer and material involved in the transaction. Ensure that any relevant pricing agreements or discounts are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Modify Manual Entries:
  
  If the error is due to a manual entry, ensure that users are aware of the minimum limits and provide training or guidelines to prevent such entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and business processes.
