  The SAP error message BIL123 indicates that a condition rate (or condition type) is being used more than once in a rate relationship group, which is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of billing or pricing procedures where condition types are defined for calculating prices, discounts, or surcharges.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Condition Types: The same condition type is assigned multiple times within the same rate relationship group.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the pricing procedure or rate relationship group setup.
  Incorrect Master Data: The master data for the billing document may have been set up incorrectly, leading to the same condition type being referenced multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Rate Relationship Group: Review the configuration of the rate relationship group (identified as &2 in the error message). Ensure that each condition type is only assigned once.
  Modify Condition Types: If a condition type needs to be applied multiple times, consider creating a new condition type or modifying the existing one to accommodate the required logic without duplication.
  Review Pricing Procedure: Check the pricing procedure associated with the billing document to ensure that condition types are correctly defined and not duplicated.
  Adjust Master Data: If the error is related to specific billing documents, review the master data (like customer master, material master, etc.) to ensure that the condition types are set up correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or configuration guides for detailed instructions on setting up condition types and rate relationship groups.
