JBACND004 - Details

• The SAP error message JBACND004 indicates that there is a date inconsistency between a condition item and its corresponding condition header. Specifically, the date of the condition item (e.g., a pricing condition) is earlier than the date specified in the condition header. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in pricing and condition management.
  
  Cause:
  
  Date Mismatch: The condition item has a validity date that is earlier than the validity date of the condition header. This can happen if the condition item was created or modified after the header was set up.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Manual entry errors during the creation or modification of condition records can lead to this inconsistency.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the configuration settings for condition records may not align properly, leading to such errors.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the validity dates of both the condition header and the condition item. Ensure that the condition item’s date is not earlier
