VYSC036
- Calculation type "extension" cannot be used for the same scales ?The SAP error message VYSC036 indicates that there is an issue with the calculation type "extension" being used for the same scales in a pricing procedure. This error typically arises in the context of pricing conditions in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) when you are trying to apply a condition type that is not compatible with the existing scales.
Cause:
Duplicate Scales: The error often occurs when you have multiple condition records with the same scale values for a condition type that uses the "extension" calculation type. The "extension" calculation type is designed to extend the value of a condition based on existing scales, but it cannot do so if there are conflicting scales.
Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the condition types in the pricing procedure may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts when trying to apply the extension calculation.
Condition Records: There may be condition records that are incorrectly defined or overlapping in a way that causes the extension calculation to fail.
Solution:
Review Condition Records: Check the condition records for the relevant condition type. Ensure that there are no duplicate scales or overlapping values that could cause conflicts. You can do this by navigating to the condition records in the SAP system and reviewing the scales.
Adjust Scales: If you find duplicate or conflicting scales, you may need to adjust them. This could involve deleting or modifying the scales to ensure that they are unique and do not conflict with each other.
Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the pricing procedure and the condition types involved. Ensure that the calculation types are set up correctly and that the "extension" calculation type is appropriate for the scales you are using.
Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific condition types and their configurations. This can provide insights into how to properly set up the pricing conditions.
Testing: After making adjustments, test the pricing procedure to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the pricing behaves as expected.
