• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_SRCL021 - Recursive infraction when nesting Condition Set: "&1" ?

  The SAP error message CRM_SRCL021, which indicates a "Recursive infraction when nesting Condition Set: '&1'", typically occurs in the context of condition management within SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management). This error suggests that there is a recursive reference in the condition set, meaning that a condition is indirectly referencing itself, which leads to an infinite loop or recursion.
  Cause:
  
  Recursive Condition Set: The most common cause of this error is that a condition set is defined in such a way that it references itself either directly or indirectly through other condition sets.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an incorrect configuration in the pricing procedure or condition records that leads to this recursive relationship.
  Nesting of Condition Types: If condition types are nested improperly, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Condition Sets: Check the condition set that is causing the error. Look for any direct or indirect references to itself. Ensure that the condition set does not include itself in its own calculation logic.
  Modify Configuration: If you find that the condition set is incorrectly configured, modify it to remove the recursive reference. This may involve changing the way condition types are nested or how they reference each other.
  Test Changes: After making changes, test the condition set to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the pricing logic works as intended.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring condition sets and understanding the nesting rules.
  Seek Expert Help: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to an SAP consultant or support for assistance in diagnosing and resolving the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on condition set configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to condition management, such as V/06 (Maintain Condition Types) and V/07 (Maintain Condition Records).
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you may want to trace the execution to see where the recursion is occurring in the code.
  
  By carefully reviewing the configuration and ensuring that there are no recursive references, you should be able to resolve the CRM_SRCL021 error.
