  The SAP error message VK151, which states "Amount has fallen below lower limit for condition type in scale amount," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales documents, such as sales orders or quotations. This error indicates that the calculated amount for a specific condition type has dropped below the defined lower limit set in the pricing scale.

  Review Condition Records: Check the condition records for the relevant condition type in transaction code VK11 or VK12. Ensure that the lower limit is set correctly and that the records are appropriate for the sales document being processed.
