• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE119 - Pricing element &1 explicitly configured; explicit definition is ignored ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE119: Pricing element &1 explicitly configured; explicit definition is ignored
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs in the context of SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC) and Pricing when a pricing element (condition type or pricing element) is explicitly configured in the pricing procedure or pricing schema, but at the same time, an explicit definition for this element is provided in the configuration profile or pricing schema. Essentially, the system detects that the pricing element is both explicitly configured and explicitly defined, which leads to the explicit definition being ignored.
  In other words, the pricing element is already controlled or set up explicitly in the pricing procedure, so any additional explicit definition for it in the configuration profile or pricing schema is redundant and will be ignored by the system.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During pricing in Variant Configuration (VC) when pricing elements are maintained both in the pricing procedure and in the configuration profile.
  When the pricing element is explicitly maintained in the pricing procedure, but the system also finds an explicit definition for the same element in the configuration profile or pricing schema.
  This message is informational/warning in nature, indicating that the explicit definition will not be considered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure and Configuration Profile:
  
  Check the pricing procedure to see which pricing elements (condition types) are explicitly configured.
  Check the configuration profile or pricing schema for explicit definitions of the same pricing elements.
  
  
  
  Remove Redundancy:
  
  Remove the explicit definition of the pricing element from the configuration profile or pricing schema if it is already explicitly configured in the pricing procedure.
  Alternatively, if the explicit definition in the configuration profile is required, then remove the explicit configuration of the pricing element from the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Ensure that pricing elements are maintained consistently either in the pricing procedure or in the configuration profile, but not both.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the pricing in the variant configuration scenario to confirm that the message no longer appears and pricing works as expected.

  Additional Tips:
  
  This message is usually informational and does not stop processing but indicates that some configuration is redundant.
  Proper alignment of pricing elements between pricing procedure and configuration profile is essential for correct pricing behavior in VC.
