• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MAIN258 - Condition record overlaps existing record in parameter CONDRECHEADERS ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MAIN258 indicates that there is a conflict with condition records in the system. Specifically, it means that the condition record you are trying to create or modify overlaps with an existing record in the parameter CONDRECHEADERS. This typically occurs in the context of pricing, discounts, or other condition-based functionalities in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Validity Periods: The most common cause of this error is that the validity periods (start and end dates) of the new condition record overlap with those of an existing record. For example, if you are trying to create a new condition record that is valid from January 1 to January 10, and there is already an existing record valid from January 5 to January 15, this will trigger the error.
  
  
  Duplicate Entries: There may be an attempt to create a condition record that is identical to an existing one, which can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, incorrect or incomplete data entry can lead to conflicts with existing records.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing condition records in the system for the relevant condition type. You can do this using transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to see the validity periods and other details.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods: If you find that the new condition record overlaps with an existing one, you may need to adjust the validity periods of either the new record or the existing record to eliminate the overlap.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Records: If the existing record is no longer needed, consider deleting it. Alternatively, you can modify it to change its validity period so that it no longer overlaps with the new record.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the conditions or the implications of modifying records, consult the relevant SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) to create new records after ensuring there are no overlaps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Condition Records: These are used in SAP to manage pricing, discounts, and other conditions that can vary based on various factors like customer, material, or time.

  SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for specific guidance related to your version of SAP.
