• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_CUST020 - There must always be one document-independent entry ?

  The SAP error message WRF_PRC_CUST020 ("There must always be one document-independent entry") typically occurs in the context of pricing and conditions in SAP, particularly when working with condition records in the SAP Pricing module (often related to the SD - Sales and Distribution module).
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when you are trying to create or modify condition records, and the system expects at least one document-independent entry (also known as a "general" or "default" entry) to be present. Document-independent entries are used as a fallback when no specific conditions are met for a particular document (like a sales order or delivery).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Condition Records:
  
  Go to the transaction code VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to check if there are any existing document-independent entries for the relevant condition type.
  If there are no entries, you will need to create one.
  
  
  
  Create a Document-Independent Entry:
  
  In the condition record creation screen, ensure that you select the appropriate condition type and enter the necessary details.
  Make sure to leave the fields for specific documents (like customer or material) blank to create a document-independent entry.
  Save the entry.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Types:
  
  Ensure that the condition type you are working with is configured correctly in the pricing procedure. You can check this in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Condition Types to review the settings.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to your sales document type includes the necessary condition types and that at least one document-independent condition type is included.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the specific condition types, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), VK13 (Display Condition), SPRO (Customizing).
  Condition Types: Understand the difference between document-dependent and document-independent condition types.
  Pricing Procedure: Familiarize yourself with how pricing procedures are set up and how they interact with condition records.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to check for any specific customizations or enhancements in your SAP environment that could be affecting the pricing logic. Additionally, consulting with your SAP support team or functional consultant can provide further insights tailored to your specific configuration.
