• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN062 - Requirement & for condition type & is not active - activate w/ trans VOFM ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VN062 Requirement & for condition type & is not active - activate w/ trans VOFM
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during pricing or condition processing in SAP SD/MM when a requirement routine assigned to a condition type is not active. Each condition type can have a requirement routine (a piece of ABAP code or a predefined routine) that determines whether the condition should be applied or not.
  
  The message indicates that the requirement routine assigned to the condition type is currently inactive.
  The system expects the requirement routine to be active to evaluate the condition properly.
  This usually happens if the requirement routine was created or modified but not activated, or if the condition type is assigned a requirement routine that does not exist or is inactive.
  
  
  Cause Details:
  
  Condition type has a requirement routine assigned in the pricing procedure or condition master data.
  The requirement routine is defined in transaction VOFM (Pricing routines).
  The routine is either inactive or not properly maintained.
  When the system tries to execute the routine during pricing, it fails and throws this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the requirement routine:
  
  Go to transaction VOFM (Pricing routines).
  Choose the appropriate routine type (e.g., Requirement routines).
  Find the routine number mentioned in the error message.
  Open the routine and activate it.
  Save and exit.
  
  
  
  Check the assignment of the requirement routine:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? SAP Reference IMG ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types.
  Select the condition type mentioned in the error.
  Check the Requirement field and verify the routine number.
  Ensure the routine number corresponds to an active routine in VOFM.
  
  
  
  If the routine does not exist or is incorrect:
  
  Create or correct the requirement routine in VOFM.
  Assign the correct routine to the condition type.
  
  
  
  Test the pricing again after activation.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  VOFM is the transaction used to create, edit, and activate pricing routines including requirements, subroutines, and formulas.
  Requirement routines are ABAP code snippets that return a boolean (true/false) to determine if a condition should be applied.
  Inactive routines cannot be executed, hence the error.
  This error is common after transport/import of pricing routines or after changes in condition types.
