• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message J3485 - Condition item does not yet exist ?

  The SAP error message J3485, which states "Condition item does not yet exist," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales documents, such as sales orders or quotations. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specific condition record that is required for pricing calculations.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Condition Records: The most common cause is that the condition record for the pricing condition type (e.g., discounts, surcharges) has not been created or is not maintained for the specific combination of key fields (like customer, material, etc.).
  Incorrect Condition Type: The condition type being referenced may not be correctly set up in the pricing procedure.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data (like customer or material master) that prevent the system from finding the relevant condition records.
