  The SAP error message 63120, which states "Opt.rate for & not overwritten (old data)," typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to update or overwrite an existing condition record (like a pricing condition) with new data, but it is unable to do so because the existing data is considered "old" or not eligible for updating.
