The SAP error message
/FMP/MP022 Delete price type &1 first
typically occurs in the context of managing pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with price types in the Material Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD) modules. This error indicates that there is an attempt to delete a price type that is still in use or has dependencies that need to be resolved first.Cause:
- Existing Dependencies: The price type you are trying to delete is still being referenced in pricing conditions, contracts, or other related documents.
- Configuration Issues: The system may have configuration settings that prevent the deletion of certain price types if they are linked to active transactions or master data.
- Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the price type, leading to this error.
Solution:
Check Dependencies:
- Use transaction codes like
VK13
(Display Condition) orVK12
(Change Condition) to check if the price type is being used in any pricing conditions.- Review any contracts, pricing agreements, or other documents that may reference the price type.
Delete References:
- If you find that the price type is being used, you will need to delete or modify those references before you can delete the price type itself.
- Ensure that all related pricing conditions are either deleted or updated to remove the dependency on the price type.
Review Configuration:
- Check the configuration settings in the SPRO transaction to ensure that the price type is not set as mandatory or linked to other critical processes that prevent deletion.
Authorization Check:
- Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. If not, contact your SAP security team to obtain the required permissions.
Consult Documentation:
- Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing price types and conditions.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
