• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0050 - Only maintain the restriction value and currency fields ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W0050 - Only maintain the restriction value and currency fields
  
  Cause:
  This warning message typically appears when you are trying to maintain or change fields in a condition record or pricing condition where only the restriction value and currency fields are allowed to be changed. The system restricts changes to other fields because they are either fixed or controlled by the system logic or customizing settings.
  In other words, the system expects that only the restriction value (e.g., quantity, amount, or percentage limits) and the currency fields can be maintained in the current context, and any attempt to modify other fields triggers this warning.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While maintaining condition records in transaction codes like VK11, VK12, or VK13.
  When the condition type or pricing procedure restricts changes to certain fields.
  When the condition record is controlled by a restriction (e.g., validity period, scales, or other control parameters).
  When the system expects only the restriction value and currency to be updated, but other fields are being changed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Only update the restriction value and currency fields as the message suggests.
  Avoid changing other fields in the condition record that are not allowed to be changed.
  If you need to change other fields, check if you should create a new condition record instead of modifying the existing one.
  Verify the condition type configuration in SPRO under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Types to understand restrictions.
  Check if the condition record is locked or controlled by a higher-level setting or user exit.
  If you believe the restriction is incorrect, consult with your SAP functional consultant or check if any user-exits or BAdIs are enforcing this restriction.
