  The SAP error message CRM_TAX_TTE218 indicates that a specific condition type in a pricing formula is set to be manual, which is not allowed in the context of the formula being used. This error typically arises in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module when dealing with tax calculations or pricing conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Condition Type: The condition type specified (represented by &1) is configured to be manual, meaning that it requires user input or manual adjustment.
  Formula Restrictions: The formula (represented by &2) that is being used does not permit manual condition types. This is often due to the way the pricing procedure or tax calculation is set up in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the pricing procedure or the condition type settings that leads to this conflict.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the condition type in question. You can do this via transaction code SPRO and navigating to the relevant area for pricing or tax conditions.

  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure associated with the transaction. Ensure that the condition types used in the formula are compatible with the requirements of the pricing procedure.

  Adjust Formula Logic:
  
  If the formula is intended to allow manual entries, consider modifying the formula logic to include the manual condition type appropriately.
  Alternatively, if the formula should not allow manual entries, ensure that the condition type is set to automatic.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to pricing procedures and condition types to understand the specific requirements and restrictions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
