  The SAP error message P0197 typically relates to issues with package or condition handling in the SAP system, particularly in the context of pricing or condition records. The message indicates that a package or condition has been renamed, which can lead to inconsistencies or errors in processing.
  Cause:
  
  Renaming of Conditions: The error often arises when a condition type or package has been renamed in the system, but the related configurations or references have not been updated accordingly.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data where the system is trying to access a condition or package that no longer exists or has been altered.

  Check Condition Records: Verify the condition records in the system to ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no references to old or renamed conditions.
  Update References: If a condition or package has been renamed, ensure that all relevant configurations, pricing procedures, and references are updated to reflect the new name.
  Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the pricing configuration to identify any discrepancies that may be causing the error.
  Transport Requests: If the renaming was part of a transport request, ensure that all related objects were included in the transport and that they have been successfully imported into the target system.
