This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a pricing condition record that conflicts with an existing record for the same price date and price type.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that there is already a condition record in the system for the specified price date and price type. This could happen if:
  
  You are trying to create a new condition record that overlaps with an existing one.
  There was an attempt to upload or import data that includes duplicates.

  Configuration Issues: In some cases, configuration settings in the pricing procedure or condition types may lead to this error if they are not set up correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records:

  If you find an existing record that matches, you may need to modify or delete it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Record: If the existing record is valid and needs to be updated, you can use transaction VK12 (Change Condition) to modify the existing condition record.
  
  
  Data Upload Review: If the error occurred during a data upload, review the data being uploaded to ensure there are no duplicates. You may need to clean the data before re-uploading.
