  SAP Error Message: VQ216
  Message Text:
  
  Info structure & does not fit procedure &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the Info Structure (Info Structure = a data structure used in SAP to collect and store data for reporting and analysis, often in the context of sales and distribution or pricing procedures) assigned to a particular procedure (such as a pricing procedure or condition technique procedure) does not match or is incompatible.
  In other words, the system expects a certain Info Structure that corresponds to the procedure being used, but the Info Structure assigned or referenced does not fit or is not valid for that procedure.
  Common causes include:
  
  The Info Structure assigned to the pricing procedure or condition technique is incorrect or missing.
  Customizing inconsistencies where the Info Structure and procedure assignments are not aligned.
  Changes in the procedure without corresponding updates in the Info Structure assignments.
  Using a procedure in a context where the Info Structure is not defined or supported.
  
  
  Where does this happen?
  
  Typically during pricing or condition technique processing.
  When the system tries to update or read data from an Info Structure related to a pricing procedure.
  In sales order processing, billing, or condition maintenance.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the assignment of Info Structure to the procedure:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Technique.
  Verify the Info Structure assigned to the pricing procedure or condition type.
  Ensure that the Info Structure is correctly assigned and corresponds to the procedure in use.
  
  
  
  Verify Info Structure configuration:
  
  Use transaction V/STR to check Info Structure definitions.
  Confirm that the Info Structure is active and correctly defined for the procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Pricing Procedures:
  
  Use transaction V/08 to check pricing procedures.
  Confirm that the procedure is correctly maintained and linked to the Info Structure.
  
  
  
  Adjust or assign the correct Info Structure:
  
  If the Info Structure is missing or incorrect, assign the correct one.
  If necessary, create or activate the required Info Structure.
  
  
  
  Check for recent changes:
  
  If the error started after a recent change in pricing procedures or Info Structures, review those changes.
  Revert or correct inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes SAP releases notes related to specific Info Structure and procedure mismatches.
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message VQ216.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Info Structures are used primarily in Sales Information System (SIS) to collect sales data for analysis.
  The error indicates a mismatch between the data collection structure and the procedure generating the data.
  Proper alignment between Info Structures and procedures is essential for accurate data collection and reporting.
  This error is informational but can prevent further processing if the system cannot correctly update or read Info Structures.
