• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06651 - Only one time period can be processed per condition ?

  The SAP error message "06651: Only one time period can be processed per condition" typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP, particularly when dealing with pricing conditions in sales documents or purchase orders. This error indicates that the system has encountered a situation where multiple time periods are being processed for a single condition, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Validity Periods: The condition record may have multiple validity periods defined, and the system is trying to process more than one of these periods simultaneously.
  Incorrect Condition Configuration: The configuration of the pricing condition may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts in the time periods.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry for the condition records, such as overlapping validity periods.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records: Review the condition records for the relevant pricing condition. Ensure that there is only one active validity period for the condition at the time of processing.
  
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) to check the condition records.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods: If there are overlapping or multiple validity periods, adjust them to ensure that only one is active for the time frame you are processing.
  
  You may need to delete or modify the conflicting condition records.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration of the pricing conditions in the relevant customizing settings (transaction SPRO).
  
  Ensure that the condition types and their settings are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the condition types and their configuration.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
