• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VY142 - Pricing procedure &1 does not contain a calculation base diff.from ' ' ?

  The SAP error message VY142 indicates that the pricing procedure you are using does not contain a calculation base that is different from a blank value. This typically occurs during the pricing determination process in sales documents, such as sales orders or quotations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Calculation Base: The pricing procedure defined for the sales document does not have a calculation base defined for the relevant condition type. This means that the system cannot determine how to calculate the price for that condition type.
  Incorrect Configuration: The pricing procedure may not be correctly configured in the system. This could be due to missing entries in the pricing procedure or incorrect assignment of condition types.
  Condition Type Settings: The condition type may not be set up to use a calculation base, or the calculation base may not be defined properly in the condition type settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/08 to display the pricing procedure.
  Verify that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document contains the necessary condition types with appropriate calculation bases.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Types:
  
  Use transaction code V/06 to check the condition types used in the pricing procedure.
  Ensure that the condition types have a valid calculation base defined. You can do this by checking the "Calculation Base" field in the condition type configuration.
  
  
  
  Assign Correct Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the correct pricing procedure is assigned to the sales area (Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, Division) in the configuration settings.
  You can check this in transaction code OVKK (Assign Pricing Procedure to Sales Area).
  
  
  
  Test Pricing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, create a new sales document to test if the pricing is calculated correctly without the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance on setting up pricing procedures and condition types.
