  SAP Error Message: VN2038
  Text:
  
  Condition & : Application does not correspond to application in TRFM
  
  1. Cause
  This error occurs during the processing of conditions in the Vendor Invoice Verification (transaction MIRO) or Purchase Order processing when the condition application assigned to a condition record does not match the application expected in the TRFM (Transaction Flow Matrix).
  
  TRFM (Transaction Flow Matrix) is a configuration table that controls which condition types are valid for which application areas (e.g., Purchasing, Invoice Verification, etc.).
  The condition record has an application (e.g., 'E' for Purchasing, 'I' for Invoice Verification).
  The system checks if the condition's application matches the application expected in the TRFM for the current transaction.
  If there is a mismatch, the system throws the VN2038 error.
  
  In short: The condition type or condition record is assigned to an application that is not valid for the current transaction or document type.
  
  2. Solution
  Step 1: Identify the Condition Type and Application
  
  Check the condition type used in the transaction.
  Use transaction M/06 or M/07 to display the condition type and verify its application.
  
  Step 2: Check the Condition Record Application
  
  Use transaction VK13 or MEK3 to display the condition record.
  Verify the application assigned to the condition record.
  
  Step 3: Check the TRFM Table
  
  The TRFM table (Transaction Flow Matrix) controls valid condition applications.
  Use transaction SM30 or SE16N to view table TRFM.
  Check the entries for the relevant transaction and condition type.
  Verify if the condition application matches the one in the condition record.
  
  Step 4: Correct the Application
  
  If the condition record application is incorrect, recreate or adjust the condition record with the correct application.
  If the TRFM entry is missing or incorrect, update the TRFM configuration to allow the condition application for the transaction.
  This may require coordination with your SAP MM or SD consultant or Basis team.
  
  Step 5: Test the Transaction
  
  After corrections, test the transaction again to ensure the error is resolved.
