• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AJ690 - Discount &1 already exists w/o currency. Choose another key. ?

  The SAP error message AJ690 "Discount &1 already exists w/o currency. Choose another key." typically occurs in the context of pricing and discount management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with condition records for discounts.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is already an existing discount condition record in the system that does not have a currency assigned to it. When you attempt to create a new discount condition with the same key (e.g., discount type, customer, material, etc.), the system prevents this action because it would lead to ambiguity in how the discount is applied.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction code VK13 (Display Condition) to check for existing discount condition records.
  Look for the specific discount key mentioned in the error message. If it exists without a currency, you may need to either modify or delete it.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Record:
  
  If the existing record is valid but needs a currency, you can modify it using transaction code VK12 (Change Condition).
  Assign a currency to the existing discount condition record if applicable.
  
  
  
  Choose a Different Key:
  
  If you cannot modify the existing record or if it is not appropriate to do so, consider using a different key for the new discount condition. This could involve changing the combination of the discount type, customer, or other relevant fields.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to pricing and discounts to ensure you are following the correct procedures for creating condition records.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings for discount conditions in the pricing procedure to ensure they are set up correctly.
