  The SAP error message WB2B404 indicates that there is an issue with the calculation schema for a specific item in a sales document, particularly related to the pricing of empties (like returnable containers). This error typically arises in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when dealing with items that are expected to have a gross price but do not have one configured in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error suggests that there is no gross price configured for the specified item (item &2) in the calculation schema (&1). This can happen if the pricing conditions for the item have not been set up correctly in the system.
  Incorrect Condition Records: The condition records for the pricing of empties may not exist or may not be maintained properly in the system.
  Item Category Settings: The item category used for the empty may not be configured to allow pricing or may not be linked to the correct pricing procedure.
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure assigned to the sales document may not include the necessary conditions for calculating the gross price for empties.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure: Verify that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document includes the necessary condition types for calculating the gross price for empties. You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings in SPRO:
  
  SPRO > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Pricing Procedures.

  Review Item Category: Check the item category settings to ensure that it is configured to allow pricing. You can do this in the configuration settings:
  
  SPRO > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Document > Define Item Categories.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Exclusion: Ensure that there are no condition exclusions that might be preventing the gross price from being calculated for the empty item.
  
  
  Test Pricing: After making the necessary changes, test the pricing in a sales order to ensure that the gross price is now being calculated correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
