• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_EA021 - Document &1 created with reference to &2 (price determination incorrect) ?

  The SAP error message:
  WS_EA021 Document &1 created with reference to &2 (price determination incorrect)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you create a document (e.g., a billing document, delivery, or sales order) with reference to another document, but the system detects inconsistencies or errors in the price determination procedure between the two documents.
  Specifically, the system expects the pricing conditions in the new document to be consistent with the reference document. If the pricing procedure or condition records do not match or are not valid for the new document, SAP throws this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  The pricing procedure assigned to the new document is different or incompatible with the reference document.
  Condition records used in the reference document are not valid or missing for the new document.
  Changes in master data (e.g., customer, material, pricing conditions) between the creation of the reference document and the new document.
  Customizing inconsistencies in pricing procedure determination.
  Incorrect or missing condition types in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WS_EA021 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedures:
  
  Verify that the pricing procedure assigned to the new document is consistent with the reference document.
  Use transaction V/08 to check pricing procedure determination for sales documents.
  Ensure that the pricing procedure is valid for the combination of sales area, document pricing procedure, customer pricing procedure, and sales document type.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Check if the condition records used in the reference document are valid for the new document.
  Use transaction VK13 to display condition records.
  Ensure validity dates and access sequences are correct.
  
  
  
  Compare Documents:
  
  Compare the pricing conditions in the reference document and the new document.
  Use transaction VF03 (billing document display) or VA03 (sales order display) to review pricing details.
  Identify any missing or inconsistent condition types.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify customer master, material master, and pricing master data for any changes that might affect pricing.
  Ensure that the customer and material are valid and active.
  
  
  
  Debug Pricing Procedure Determination:
  
  If standard checks do not resolve the issue, debug the pricing procedure determination logic.
  Use transaction V/08 and V/07 to analyze pricing procedure determination.
  Check user exits or BADIs that might influence pricing.
  
  
  
  Recreate Document:
  
  If the document was created incorrectly, try recreating it with correct reference and pricing data.
