• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VK149 - Upper limit for condition type in scale amount has been exceeded ?

  The SAP error message VK149, which states "Upper limit for condition type in scale amount has been exceeded," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales documents, such as sales orders or billing documents. This error indicates that the total amount for a specific condition type has exceeded the predefined upper limit set in the pricing procedure.
  Cause:
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type in question has a defined upper limit in its configuration. This limit is set in the condition type settings in the pricing procedure.
  Scale Amount Exceeded: The total amount calculated for the condition type exceeds the maximum limit defined in the scale for that condition.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be incorrect or unexpected data entered in the sales document that leads to the calculation exceeding the limit.

  Review Sales Document Data:
  
  Check the sales document for any incorrect entries or unexpected values that may be causing the condition amount to exceed the limit.
