  SAP Error Message: VN086 - "Do not deactivate condition access"
  
  Cause:
  The error message VN086 occurs when you attempt to deactivate or remove a condition access sequence or condition access in the pricing procedure or condition technique that is still in use or required for the correct determination of pricing conditions.
  In SAP, condition access defines the sequence and criteria by which the system searches for valid condition records during pricing. Deactivating or deleting a condition access that is still referenced or necessary can lead to inconsistencies or incomplete pricing determination.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to deactivate a condition access in the pricing procedure or condition technique that is still active or assigned.
  When the system detects that the condition access is still needed for condition record determination.
  When you attempt to change the condition technique configuration incorrectly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Usage:
  
  Verify if the condition access is still assigned to any pricing procedure or condition type.
  Use transaction codes like V/06 (Condition Tables), V/07 (Access Sequences), or V/08 (Condition Types) to check the configuration.
  Check if the condition access is referenced in any pricing procedure (transaction V/08 or V/07).
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you want to deactivate the condition access, first remove or replace it in all pricing procedures or condition types where it is used.
  Ensure that no active pricing procedure depends on this condition access.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Properly:
  
  After removing all references, you can deactivate or delete the condition access.
  Make sure to transport the changes properly if working in a development environment.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes, test pricing in sales documents to ensure that pricing determination works correctly without the deactivated condition access.
