Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRCG_CNDNRECORD_API017 - Condition record &1 is replaced as it is completely contained in others. ?

  The SAP error message PRCG_CNDNRECORD_API017 indicates that a condition record is being replaced because it is completely contained within other condition records. This typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, where multiple condition records may overlap in terms of their applicability (e.g., same material, customer, and validity period).
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Condition Records: The condition record you are trying to create or modify is fully covered by existing condition records. This means that the pricing conditions defined in the new record do not add any new information or conditions that are not already covered by the existing records.
  Data Redundancy: The system is designed to avoid redundancy in condition records, so if a new record does not provide any additional value, it will be replaced.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, the issue may arise from incorrect or unintended data entry, leading to the creation of a record that is identical to or completely contained within existing records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Existing Condition Records: Check the existing condition records for the same material, customer, and validity period. You can do this using transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to see if the record you are trying to create is indeed redundant.
  Modify the New Record: If you find that the new record is indeed redundant, consider modifying it to include different parameters (e.g., different validity dates, different pricing conditions) that would make it unique.
  Delete Redundant Records: If there are multiple records that are redundant, you may want to delete the unnecessary ones to clean up the data.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the specific business logic that might be causing this issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to condition records, such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition).
  Condition Types: Understand the condition types being used, as different condition types may have different rules regarding overlaps and replacements.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on managing condition records.
  Custom Logic: If your organization has custom logic implemented in the pricing procedure, ensure that it is functioning as intended and not causing unexpected behavior.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue related to the PRCG_CNDNRECORD_API017 error message in SAP.
