• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VPK1402 - You cannot save sales pricing without an ECP costing number ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VPK1402: "You cannot save sales pricing without an ECP costing number":
  
  Error Message
  VPK1402: You cannot save sales pricing without an ECP costing number.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the system requires an ECP costing number (Enterprise Costing Process costing number) to be assigned before you can save sales pricing data. The ECP costing number is a key reference in the SAP system that links sales pricing to the costing data maintained in the Enterprise Costing Process.
  In other words, the sales pricing procedure or configuration in your system is set up to mandate that an ECP costing number must be present for the material or product before pricing conditions can be saved. If this costing number is missing or not maintained, the system blocks saving the sales pricing data to ensure data consistency and integration between costing and pricing.
