    Error Message

    WS050 - Enter compulsory conditions (item &)


    Cause

    This error occurs in SAP when you are trying to save or process a document (such as a sales order, purchase order, or billing document) and the system detects that one or more mandatory pricing conditions have not been entered for an item.

    • The system requires certain condition records (pricing elements like price, discount, surcharge, tax, etc.) to be maintained for each item.
    • If these compulsory conditions are missing, the system will not allow you to proceed and will throw this error.
    • The placeholder & in the message is replaced by the item number for which the condition is missing.

    When does it typically occur?

    • During sales order creation or change (transaction VA01/VA02).
    • During billing document creation (VF01).
    • During purchase order processing if pricing conditions are mandatory.
    • When condition technique is used and mandatory conditions are defined in pricing procedure but not maintained.

    Solution

    1. Check Pricing Procedure:

      • Go to the pricing procedure assigned to the document type and sales area.
      • Verify which condition types are marked as mandatory.
      • Transaction codes: V/08 (Maintain Pricing Procedures), V/07 (Assign Pricing Procedure).
    2. Maintain Missing Conditions:

      • For the item number mentioned in the error, enter the missing compulsory condition(s).
      • You can do this manually in the item conditions tab or ensure that the condition records exist and are correctly determined.
    3. Check Condition Records:

      • Use transaction VK11 or VK12 to maintain condition records for the missing condition types.
      • Ensure that the condition records are valid for the sales area, customer/material, and date.
    4. Check Access Sequence:

      • Verify that the access sequence for the condition type is correctly set up and can find valid condition records.
    5. Check User Exits or Enhancements:

      • Sometimes custom code or user exits might enforce additional mandatory conditions.
      • Review any custom logic that might be causing the condition to be mandatory.
    6. Testing:

      • After maintaining the missing conditions, try to save or process the document again.
