  &3 = Specific error detail or pricing condition causing the problem
  
  
  Cause
  This error usually arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing or Incomplete Pricing Data for the Material:
  
  The material master record lacks valid pricing conditions.
  Pricing conditions (e.g., PR00 - Price, K007 - Customer discount) are not maintained or incomplete for the material in the relevant sales area or plant.
  
  
  
  Incorrect or Missing Condition Records:
  
  Condition records for the material and customer combination are missing or invalid.
  Validity dates of condition records do not cover the document date.
  
  
  
  Pricing Procedure Issues:
  
  The pricing procedure assigned to the sales document or plant does not include the necessary condition types for the material.
  The pricing procedure determination is incorrect or incomplete.
  
  
  
  Configuration Errors:

  Missing access sequences or condition tables for the material pricing.
  
  
  
  Master Data Inconsistencies:

  Solution
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the material master has the correct sales views maintained (Sales Org. Data 1 and 2).
  Ensure the material is flagged for sales and distribution and has valid pricing-relevant data.
  
  
  
  Verify Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK13 to check if condition records exist for the material, customer, and sales area.
  Confirm that condition records are valid for the document date.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type and sales area (transaction V/08).
  Ensure the pricing procedure includes the necessary condition types for the material.
  
  
  
  Check Access Sequences:
  
  Verify that access sequences for condition types are correctly maintained and include the material and customer combination.
  
  
  
  Simulate Pricing:
  
  Use transaction VK11 or VA02 (change sales order) and simulate pricing to identify which condition type or step causes the error.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Review pricing procedure determination in SPRO under:
  Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define and Assign Pricing Procedures
  
  
  
  Debugging (if necessary):
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the pricing routine or checking user exits/BADIs related to pricing may be necessary.
