• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message JBDVT105 - A condition item with these key fields already exists ?

  The SAP error message JBDVT105 indicates that there is a duplicate condition item in the system. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a condition record in the pricing procedure, and the system finds that a record with the same key fields already exists.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Entry: You are attempting to create a condition record that has the same key fields (such as condition type, pricing date, etc.) as an existing record.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the data you are entering, leading to a conflict with existing records.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, it may have resulted in duplicate records.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records:
  
  Use transaction code VK13 (Display Condition) to check if a condition record with the same key fields already exists.
  If it does, you may need to modify the existing record instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Records:
  
  If you find a duplicate record that is no longer needed, you can delete it using transaction code VK12 (Change Condition).
  If the existing record needs to be updated, you can also use VK12 to make the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Review Key Fields:
  
  Ensure that the key fields you are using to create the new condition record are correct and do not conflict with existing records.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to condition records and pricing procedures for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Migration Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a data migration, verify the data integrity and ensure that there are no unintended duplicates.
