    Meaning / Cause

    This message appears when you are trying to perform an operation (such as creating or changing a vendor master record or processing purchasing documents) that requires a pricing procedure to be assigned for a specific combination of:

    • Procedure (Pricing Procedure)
    • Usage (e.g., Purchase Order, Contract, etc.)
    • Application (e.g., Purchasing, Invoice Verification, etc.)

    The system is indicating that the pricing procedure is not maintained or missing for the given usage and application in the configuration.


    When does this occur?

    • When creating or changing purchasing documents (like Purchase Orders, Contracts, Scheduling Agreements).
    • When processing vendor master data or pricing conditions.
    • When the system tries to determine the pricing procedure but cannot find a valid assignment.

    Cause

    • The pricing procedure has not been assigned or maintained in the customizing for the combination of Usage and Application.
    • Missing or incorrect configuration in SPRO under the pricing procedure determination.
    • Possibly, the condition technique is incomplete or inconsistent.

    Solution / How to fix

    1. Check Pricing Procedure Assignment:

      Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (transaction SPRO):

      SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Conditions -> Define Price Determination Process -> Define Procedure for Price Determination
    2. Maintain Pricing Procedure for Usage and Application:

      • Navigate to the relevant node where you assign pricing procedures to usage and application.
      • For example, in Purchasing, you assign pricing procedures to the combination of Purchasing Organization, Document Pricing Procedure, Vendor Pricing Procedure, Usage, and Application.
      • Make sure the pricing procedure is maintained for the specific Usage (e.g., 'E' for Purchase Order) and Application (e.g., 'V' for Purchasing).
    3. Verify Condition Technique:

      • Check the condition tables, access sequences, and condition types related to the pricing procedure.
      • Ensure that the condition records exist and are valid.
    4. Check Vendor Master and Purchasing Info Record:

      • Sometimes, missing or incorrect data in vendor master or info records can cause the system to fail in determining the pricing procedure.
    5. Testing:

      • After maintaining the pricing procedure, test the transaction again to confirm the error is resolved.
