  SAP Error Message:
  WSTP032: Pricing unit for empties matl &1 is &2: Deposit calculation not possible
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message occurs during pricing or billing when the system tries to calculate a deposit for an empties material (e.g., bottles, crates) but cannot proceed because the pricing unit for the empties material is set in a way that prevents deposit calculation.
  
  Empties material refers to returnable packaging or containers that are subject to deposit charges.
  The pricing unit is a key field in the material master that defines the unit of measure for pricing calculations.
  If the pricing unit for the empties material is set incorrectly or to a value that the deposit calculation logic does not support, the system cannot calculate the deposit amount.
  
  
  Typical Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Pricing Unit in Material Master
  
  The pricing unit (field VERPR in material master, or pricing unit in sales data) for the empties material is set to a value that is not compatible with deposit calculation.
  
  
  Missing or inconsistent configuration for deposit calculation
  
  The system expects a certain unit of measure or pricing unit to calculate deposits correctly.
  
  
  Customizing or pricing procedure issues
  
  The pricing procedure or condition records for the empties material may not be set up properly to handle the pricing unit.
  
  
  
  Where to Check / Verify:
  
  
  Material Master (MM03)
  
  Check the Sales: Sales Org. 2 view for the empties material. Look at the Pricing Unit field.  
  
  The pricing unit should typically be 1 or a value that matches the deposit calculation logic.
  
  
  
  Condition Records (VK11/VK12)
  
  Verify the condition records for the empties material and ensure they are maintained correctly.
  
  
  Pricing Procedure
  
  Check if the pricing procedure includes the deposit condition type and that it is configured to handle the pricing unit.
  
  
  Customizing for Empties/Deposit Calculation
  
  In SPRO, under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control, check settings related to empties or deposit calculation.
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Correct the Pricing Unit
  
  Change the pricing unit for the empties material to a value that supports deposit calculation, usually 1.  
  
  Use transaction MM02 to update the material master.
  Go to Sales: Sales Org. 2 view and adjust the pricing unit.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Procedure or Condition Records
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure and condition records are consistent with the pricing unit.
  
  
  Check Deposit Calculation Configuration
  
  Verify that the deposit calculation logic in customizing supports the pricing unit used.
  
  
  Re-run Pricing / Billing
  
  After correction, reprocess the pricing or billing document.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is informational but indicates that the deposit amount will not be calculated for the empties material.
  It is important for companies that handle returnable packaging and charge deposits to have consistent pricing units.
  Sometimes, the pricing unit differs from the base unit of measure, which can cause this issue.
  If the pricing unit is greater than 1, the system may not be able to calculate the deposit correctly because the deposit is usually calculated per unit.
