  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS693 - Supplier pricing not allowed for document &1, check your interface data
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system detects that supplier pricing is being applied or attempted in a document where it is not allowed. Typically, this happens during the processing of purchasing documents (such as purchase orders or scheduling agreements) when the pricing condition type or pricing procedure is incorrectly set to use supplier pricing, but the document type or the system configuration does not permit it.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The document type does not support supplier pricing.
  The interface data (e.g., IDoc, BAPI, or other inbound data) contains pricing information that conflicts with the allowed pricing procedure.
  Incorrect or inconsistent configuration in the purchasing document type or pricing procedure.
  Attempt to use subcontracting or consignment pricing conditions in a document that does not allow them.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the purchasing document type settings in SPRO under:
  Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define Document Types
  Ensure that the document type allows supplier pricing if supplier pricing is intended.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the purchasing document type.
  Confirm that the pricing procedure does not include supplier pricing condition types if not allowed.
  Adjust the pricing procedure or document type settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Validate Interface Data:
  
  If the document is created via an interface (IDoc, BAPI, EDI), check the inbound data for pricing conditions.
  Remove or correct any supplier pricing conditions that are not allowed for the document type.
  Ensure that the interface mapping aligns with the allowed pricing procedures.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Types:
  
  Identify the condition types used in the document.
  Confirm that none of the condition types are supplier pricing types if the document does not permit them.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this error message or related issues.
