• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV405 - Standard condition type and promotion condition type are identical ?

  The SAP error message WV405 indicates that there is a conflict between standard condition types and promotion condition types in the pricing procedure. This typically occurs when the system detects that a standard condition type and a promotion condition type are set up with the same identifier or characteristics, which can lead to confusion in pricing calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Condition Types: The most common cause of this error is that the same condition type is being used for both standard pricing and promotional pricing, which can lead to ambiguity in how the system should apply discounts or surcharges.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the pricing procedure or condition records can lead to this error. This might happen if the same condition type is mistakenly assigned to both standard and promotional pricing.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the pricing logic, they might inadvertently cause this conflict.
