  Condition records not maintained: The relevant condition records for the vendor, material, or purchasing info record are not maintained or incomplete.
  Incorrect condition types or calculation schema: The pricing procedure assigned to the document may have incorrect or incomplete condition types.
  Manual changes to pricing: Manual changes to the pricing in the invoice that conflict with the expected pricing procedure.
  Currency or unit of measure mismatches: Differences in currency or units that cause pricing calculation errors.
