  The SAP error message W_EAGLT049 indicates that there is an issue with the base calculation factors in a specific context, typically related to the configuration of a pricing procedure or a condition type in SAP. This error occurs when the system expects certain fields to be empty when a percentage-based calculation is being performed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you are trying to use a percentage-based condition type, but the system finds that the base calculation factors (usually represented by &1, &2, and &3) are not empty. This situation can occur in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The condition type is configured to use percentage calculations, but the base factors are incorrectly set or populated.
  Data Entry Error: During the creation or modification of a pricing condition, the user may have inadvertently entered values in the base calculation fields when they should be left empty.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data being processed, such as incorrect master data or transaction data that does not align with the expected configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the W_EAGLT049 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration of the relevant condition type in the SAP system (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Ensure that the condition type is correctly set up for percentage calculations and that the base calculation factors are configured to be empty when using percentages.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure associated with the transaction. Ensure that the sequence of condition types is correct and that the base factors are not being populated for percentage-based conditions.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Review the specific transaction or document that triggered the error. Check the condition records and ensure that the base calculation factors are indeed empty for the relevant percentage condition types.
  If necessary, correct any erroneous entries.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the specific condition types, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in pricing and conditions.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), or VK13 (Display Condition) to manage condition records.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  User Exits or BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the pricing logic.
