• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES203 - Condition with contract no. & already exists ?

  The SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES203 indicates that there is a condition associated with a contract number that already exists in the system. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a condition record for a contract that already has a similar condition defined.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Condition Record: The most common cause is that you are attempting to create a condition record for a contract that already has an existing condition record with the same key fields (e.g., contract number, condition type).
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the data entry, leading to the system interpreting it as a duplicate.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in a way that does not allow duplicate entries for certain condition types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Condition Records: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., using transaction code VK11 for creating condition records or VK12 for changing them).
  Search for existing condition records for the specified contract number and condition type to confirm if a record already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Record: 
  
  If a record already exists and you need to change it, use transaction VK12 to modify the existing condition record instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Record: 
  
  If you find that there is an unnecessary duplicate, you can delete it using transaction VK14 (if applicable) or by following the appropriate procedure for your organization.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: 
  
  If you believe that the system should allow duplicates under certain conditions, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to condition records.
