  Cause:
  This error arises when you attempt to create or modify a condition record for a specific condition type, and the text for that condition field already exists in the system. The system does not allow duplicate entries for the same condition field text, which is why you receive this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Condition Records:
  
  Navigate to the transaction where you are trying to create or modify the condition record (e.g., VK11 for creating or VK12 for changing).
  Check if a condition record with the same key (e.g., condition type, customer, material, etc.) already exists. If it does, you may need to modify the existing record instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Text:
  
  If you find that the text already exists and you need to change it, you can do so by using the change transaction (e.g., VK12) to update the existing condition record.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Records:
  
  If there are duplicate records that are not needed, you can delete them using the appropriate transaction (e.g., VK13 to display and then VK14 to delete).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to condition records for more detailed information on how to manage them.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify condition records. Lack of proper authorization can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
