• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV665 - Pricing strategy &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message WV665, which states "Pricing strategy &1 does not exist," typically occurs in the context of pricing procedures in SAP, particularly when dealing with sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) modules. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specified pricing strategy in the configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The pricing strategy specified in the transaction or configuration does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo or because the strategy has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Assignment: The pricing strategy may not be correctly assigned to the relevant sales area, customer, or material.
