• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NI133 - Condition change date from &1 is greater than date to &2 ?

  The SAP error message NI133 indicates that there is a problem with the condition records in the pricing procedure. Specifically, it means that the "condition change date" from a certain record is greater than the "date to" of another record. This typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales documents, purchase orders, or other transactions where pricing conditions are applied.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is a mismatch in the validity periods of condition records. The system expects that the "valid from" date of a condition record should be less than or equal to the "valid to" date of another condition record. If the "valid from" date of one condition record is greater than the "valid to" date of another, the system cannot determine which condition to apply, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Records: 
  
  Go to the transaction code VK13 (Display Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to review the condition records related to the pricing procedure.
  Look for the condition records that are causing the issue. Check the validity dates (valid from and valid to) of these records.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Dates:
  
  If you find that the "valid from" date of one condition record is indeed greater than the "valid to" date of another, you will need to adjust the dates accordingly.
  You can either change the "valid from" date to be earlier or change the "valid to" date to be later, depending on your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Check for Overlapping Conditions:
  
  Ensure that there are no overlapping conditions that could cause confusion in the pricing logic. Each condition should have a clear and distinct validity period.
  
  
  
  Recreate Condition Records:
  
  If necessary, you may need to delete and recreate the condition records to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the changes, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance on how to manage condition records properly.
