• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRC_PRI204 - Condition &1 cannot be entered manually due existing condition record. ?

  The SAP error message PRC_PRI204 indicates that a specific condition (usually related to pricing) cannot be entered manually because there is an existing condition record that conflicts with the manual entry. This typically occurs in the context of pricing procedures in SAP, where certain conditions are automatically determined based on existing records.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Condition Record: The primary cause of this error is that there is already a condition record in the system for the specified condition type that has been set up with certain values. This existing record takes precedence over manual entries.
  Condition Type Configuration: The configuration of the condition type may restrict manual entries if certain settings are enabled (e.g., if the condition is set to be determined automatically).
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure may dictate that certain conditions must be derived from existing records rather than being entered manually.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Condition Records: 
  
  Use transaction code VK13 (Display Condition) to check if there are existing condition records for the condition type in question. If there are, you may need to modify or delete them if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the relevant sales document or purchasing document. Ensure that the condition type is configured correctly and that it allows for manual entries if that is desired.
  You can use transaction code V/08 to review and modify pricing procedures.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Type Settings:
  
  If you have access, you can adjust the settings of the condition type in transaction code V/06. Look for settings that may prevent manual entries, such as "Manual Entry Allowed" or "Automatic Calculation".
  
  
  
  Consult with a SAP Consultant: 
  
  If you are unsure about making changes or if the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with a SAP functional consultant who specializes in pricing and conditions.
