• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VT377 - Automatic calculation only possible if calculation is allowed ?

  The SAP error message VT377 ("Automatic calculation only possible if calculation is allowed") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Transportation Management (TM) or SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) modules when there is an issue with the configuration of the pricing or calculation settings.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the system is trying to perform an automatic calculation (such as pricing, freight calculation, etc.), but the settings do not allow for this calculation to take place. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Calculation Type Not Allowed: The configuration for the relevant document type or condition type does not allow for automatic calculations.
  Missing Configuration: The necessary settings for automatic calculations may not be properly configured in the system.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not permit calculations.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the calculation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VT377 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) and ensure that the automatic calculation is enabled for the relevant document type or condition type.
  For example, check the settings under:
  
  Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control
  Transportation Management -> Basic Functions -> Freight Calculation
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the document (e.g., sales order, delivery, shipment) is in a status that allows for calculations. If the document is locked or in a status that prevents changes, you may need to unlock or change its status.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the calculation. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  
  
  
  Manual Calculation:
  
  If automatic calculation is not possible, consider performing a manual calculation as a temporary workaround.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with for additional insights on configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
