  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN2003 - Check for procedure & (active procedure)
  
  Cause:
  The error message VN2003 typically occurs in SAP when there is an issue with the pricing procedure during purchasing document processing (e.g., purchase order, contract). Specifically, it indicates that the system cannot find or determine an active pricing procedure for the transaction based on the combination of the vendor, purchasing organization, and other relevant parameters.
  This usually happens because:
  
  The pricing procedure is not assigned or maintained correctly in the customizing.
  The condition technique for the purchasing document is incomplete or missing.
  The vendor master data or purchasing info record does not have the necessary condition records or is not properly linked.
  The combination of purchasing organization, vendor, and document type does not have a valid pricing procedure assigned.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP MM (Materials Management), pricing procedures control how prices, discounts, surcharges, taxes, and other conditions are applied in purchasing documents. The system determines the pricing procedure based on:
  
  Purchasing Organization
  Vendor
  Document Type
  Vendor Pricing Procedure (from vendor master)
  Schema Group (from purchasing info record or vendor master)
  
  If any of these are missing or incorrectly configured, the system cannot find an active pricing procedure, resulting in error VN2003.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Price Determination Process.
  Verify that the pricing procedure is assigned correctly to the combination of:
  
  Purchasing Organization
  Vendor Pricing Procedure
  Document Pricing Procedure
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Transaction XK02 or MK02 (Change Vendor).
  Check the Purchasing Data tab.
  Verify the Pricing Procedure field is maintained correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Transaction ME12 (Change Purchasing Info Record).
  Verify the Schema Group and other condition-related fields are maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use MEK1/MEK2 to create or change condition records.
  Ensure that condition records exist for the vendor and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type and Schema Group Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the document type used in the purchasing document is assigned to a valid pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Test Pricing Procedure Determination:
  
  Use transaction MEK3 or MEK4 to simulate pricing.
  Or use ME21N to create a purchase order and check the pricing tab for errors.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  Sometimes, the error can occur if the vendor is blocked or the purchasing organization is not assigned properly.
  If you recently changed customizing or master data, ensure that all related data is consistent.
  Check OSS notes or SAP support if the problem persists after verifying configuration.
