  The SAP error message CND_MAINT_LTD_API017 indicates that there is a conflict in the settings of two fields that cannot both be set to "X" (true) at the same time. This error typically arises in the context of condition maintenance or pricing procedures in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when two mutually exclusive fields are being set to "X" simultaneously. This could happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  
  Condition Types: Certain condition types may have specific fields that cannot be activated together. For example, if you are trying to set both a discount and a surcharge for the same condition type, the system will throw this error.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the pricing procedure or condition records that allows for conflicting settings.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently set both fields to "X" during data entry or maintenance of condition records.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Fields: Identify the specific fields indicated by "&1" and "&2" in the error message. Check the documentation or configuration settings to understand the relationship between these fields.
  
  
  Adjust Settings: Modify the settings so that only one of the fields is set to "X" at a time. This may involve:
  
  Changing the value of one of the fields to blank or " " (space).
  Ensuring that the logic in your pricing procedure or condition records does not allow both fields to be activated simultaneously.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the condition types and pricing procedures to ensure they are set up correctly and do not allow conflicting settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the condition types and fields involved.
