This error indicates that a specific condition type cannot be manually processed or adjusted due to certain restrictions or settings in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type may be configured in such a way that it is not allowed to be processed manually. This could be due to settings in the pricing procedure or condition records.
  Automatic Processing: The condition might be set up for automatic processing only, meaning it is intended to be calculated by the system based on predefined rules rather than being manually adjusted by users.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on manual changes to specific conditions.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to manually change the condition.
