  The SAP error message APPL_MM_PUR_SOS011, which states "Condition type &1 occurs multiple times," typically occurs in the context of purchasing documents, such as purchase orders or contracts, when the system detects that a specific condition type (like discounts, surcharges, or taxes) has been defined more than once for the same item or service.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Condition Types: The most common cause is that the same condition type has been entered multiple times for a single item in the pricing conditions of a purchasing document.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of condition types in the pricing procedure, leading to the same condition type being applied multiple times.
  Data Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently enter the same condition type multiple times during the creation or modification of a purchasing document.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Pricing Conditions: Check the pricing conditions for the relevant purchasing document. Ensure that each condition type is only entered once. You can do this by navigating to the conditions tab in the purchase order or contract and reviewing the entries.
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is due to configuration, you may need to review the pricing procedure settings in the SAP configuration (transaction code SPRO). Ensure that the condition types are set up correctly and that there are no overlaps that would allow the same condition type to be applied multiple times.
  Delete Duplicates: If duplicates are found, delete the unnecessary entries for the condition type in question.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the pricing procedure and condition types relevant to your organization’s setup.
