• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS185 - Reversal document &1 saved for doc. &2 (price determ. contained errors) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS185 - Reversal document &1 saved for doc. &2 (price determ. contained errors)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message occurs during the reversal of a document (usually a billing document or invoice) in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) or FI (Financial Accounting). The system creates a reversal document (&1) for the original document (&2), but the price determination process encountered errors during this reversal.
  Key points:
  
  The reversal document is saved successfully.
  However, the price determination procedure (pricing conditions, access sequences, etc.) had errors.
  This can happen if the pricing procedure or condition records are incomplete, missing, or inconsistent for the reversal document.
  Sometimes, the error arises because the system tries to determine prices for the reversal document but cannot find valid condition records or the pricing procedure is not properly assigned.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Missing or incomplete condition records for the reversal document date or sales area.
  Pricing procedure not assigned or incorrectly assigned to the sales document type or customer/material combination.
  Access sequence issues: The system cannot find valid condition records based on the access sequence.
  Customizing errors in pricing procedure or condition types.
  Inconsistent master data: Customer, material, or sales area data missing or incomplete.
  Date-related issues: Condition records valid only for certain periods, and reversal document date falls outside these periods.
  User exits or custom code interfering with pricing determination during reversal.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure Assignment:
  
  Verify that the pricing procedure is correctly assigned to the sales document type, sales area, and customer pricing procedure.
  Transaction codes: V/08 (Assign Pricing Procedure), V/07 (Define Pricing Procedure).
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK13 to display condition records for the relevant condition types.
  Ensure condition records exist and are valid for the reversal document date.
  If missing, create or extend condition records using VK11.
  
  
  
  Check Access Sequences:
  
  Verify that the access sequences for condition types are correctly defined and can find valid condition records.
  Transaction: V/07 (Pricing Procedure), V/05 (Access Sequences).
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure customer master, material master, and sales area data are complete and consistent.
  Check if any changes have been made recently that could affect pricing.
  
  
  
  Review Date Validity:
  
  Confirm that the reversal document date falls within the validity period of condition records.
  
  
  
  Debug Pricing Procedure:
  
  If standard checks do not resolve the issue, debug the pricing procedure during reversal to identify where the error occurs.
  Use transaction VA02 or VF11 to simulate reversal and check pricing.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Review any custom code in user exits or BAdIs related to pricing or document reversal that might cause errors.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The message is informational but indicates that pricing errors occurred and should be investigated.
  The reversal document is created but may have incorrect or incomplete pricing.
  It is important to correct the pricing errors to ensure accurate accounting and reporting.
  Sometimes, the error can be ignored if the reversal document is only for accounting purposes and pricing is not critical, but this is not recommended.
