• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EI878 - Statistical value condition can only be changed or displayed ?

  The SAP error message EI878, which states "Statistical value condition can only be changed or displayed," typically occurs in the context of managing conditions in pricing or procurement documents. This error indicates that the condition type in question is set as a statistical condition, which means it is used for reporting purposes and cannot be modified in the same way as standard conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Condition Type: The condition type involved is defined as a statistical condition in the system. Statistical conditions are used to collect data for reporting and analysis but do not affect pricing directly.
  Document Status: The document (e.g., purchase order, sales order) may be in a status that does not allow changes to certain conditions.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to change the condition type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Display Only: If you encounter this error, you can only view the statistical condition. If you need to make changes, you will have to do so in a different context or document.
  Check Condition Type: Verify the configuration of the condition type in the SAP system. If you need to change its status from statistical to a regular condition, you may need to consult with your SAP configuration team.
  Review Document Status: Ensure that the document is in a status that allows for changes. If it is completed or locked, you may need to unlock it or create a new document.
  User Authorization: Check if your user role has the necessary permissions to modify conditions. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your permissions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed information on condition types and their configurations.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to manage conditions, but remember that statistical conditions will have limitations.
  Consulting SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide patches related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in pricing and conditions.
