  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VPK1403 - An error occurred when processing the sales price calculation ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VPK1403 – "An error occurred when processing the sales price calculation"


    Cause

    The error message VPK1403 typically occurs during the sales price determination process in SD (Sales and Distribution) pricing. It indicates that the system encountered an issue while calculating the sales price for a sales document item. Common causes include:

    • Incorrect or incomplete condition records: Missing or invalid pricing conditions for the material/customer combination.
    • Pricing procedure issues: The assigned pricing procedure might be incomplete or incorrectly configured, causing errors during condition evaluation.
    • User-exits or custom enhancements: Custom code in user-exits or BADIs related to pricing might be causing runtime errors.
    • Data inconsistencies: Master data issues such as missing customer/material info, invalid condition types, or currency mismatches.
    • System or configuration errors: Problems in condition technique setup, such as missing access sequences or condition tables.
    • Authorization issues: The user might lack authorization to access certain pricing conditions or data.

    Solution

    To resolve VPK1403, follow these steps:

    1. Check Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:

      • Verify that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document is correct.
      • Ensure all required condition types have valid condition records for the sales document data (customer, material, sales org, etc.).
      • Use transaction VK13 to display condition records and check for completeness.
    2. Analyze Pricing Logs:

      • Use transaction SD pricing trace (e.g., /SAPAPO/SDPRICETRACE or enable pricing trace via /nSD transaction) to analyze how the system processes pricing.
      • Check which condition type or step causes the error.
    3. Check Custom Code:

      • Review any user-exits or BADIs related to pricing (e.g., USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK, USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP).
      • Debug the pricing routine to identify if custom code causes the error.
    4. Verify Master Data:

      • Confirm that customer master, material master, and sales area data are consistent and complete.
      • Check currency settings and ensure no mismatches.
    5. Review Access Sequences and Condition Tables:

      • Ensure access sequences assigned to condition types are correctly configured.
      • Check that condition tables contain valid entries.
    6. Check Authorizations:

      • Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access pricing data.
    7. Debugging:

      • If the above steps do not resolve the issue, perform debugging in the pricing routines to pinpoint the exact cause.
