  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VPK1123: "The existing sales pricing will be lost":
  
  Error Message: VPK1123 - The existing sales pricing will be lost
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears during sales order processing or pricing procedures in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) module. It indicates that the current pricing conditions or pricing data that have been determined or entered for a sales document (e.g., sales order, quotation) will be overwritten or lost due to a change in the pricing procedure or a re-determination of pricing.
  Common scenarios causing this message include:
  
  Changing the sales document type, sales area, or customer/material data that triggers a different pricing procedure.
  Manually triggering a recalculation of pricing (e.g., by changing quantity, conditions, or manually pressing the pricing button).
  Changing the condition records or pricing master data that leads to a different set of pricing conditions.
  Modifying the sales order header or item data that affects pricing determination.
  Using a custom or standard user exit/BADI that forces pricing to be recalculated.
  
  
  What does the message mean?
  SAP is warning you that if you proceed, the current pricing conditions (which may have been manually adjusted or previously determined) will be lost and replaced by newly determined pricing conditions. This is a safeguard to prevent unintentional loss of pricing data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the changes made:
  
  Check what changes triggered the pricing re-determination.
  Confirm if the new pricing procedure or conditions are correct and intended.
  
  
  
  Decide whether to proceed:
  
  If you want to keep the existing pricing, do not proceed with the action that triggers the message.
  If you want to update the pricing according to the new data, confirm the message and allow SAP to overwrite the pricing.
  
  
  
  Adjust pricing manually if needed:
  
  After the pricing is recalculated, you can manually adjust condition values if your business process allows it.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Verify the pricing procedure determination in transaction V/08.
  Check if the sales document type, sales area, or customer/material master data changes are causing the pricing procedure to change unexpectedly.
  
  
  
  User exits or BADIs:
  
  If custom code is involved, review the logic that triggers pricing re-determination and ensure it behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning rather than an error, so it allows the user to decide whether to continue or cancel.
  It helps prevent accidental loss of manually maintained pricing conditions.
  The message text can be found in transaction SE91 with message class VPK and message number 1123.
  If this message appears frequently and disrupts business processes, consider reviewing the pricing procedure and master data setup to minimize unnecessary pricing recalculations.
