  The SAP error message RECETM260 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of statistical one-time conditions in the system. This error typically arises when a rule that is only allowed for negative statistical one-time conditions is being applied incorrectly.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A rule that is intended for negative statistical one-time conditions is being applied to a situation where it is not valid.
  The configuration of the condition types or the rules associated with them is incorrect.
  There may be a misunderstanding of the type of condition being processed (i.e., whether it should be a positive or negative condition).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the condition types in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant area for pricing or conditions and verify the settings for the condition type that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the condition type is correctly set up for the intended use (i.e., whether it should be a statistical one-time condition or not).
  
  
  
  Review the Rules:
  
  Check the rules associated with the condition type. Make sure that the rules are appropriate for the type of conditions you are working with.
  If the rule is meant for negative statistical one-time conditions, ensure that it is not being applied to positive conditions.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Document:
  
  If you are processing a document (like a sales order or invoice), review the conditions applied to that document.
  Ensure that the conditions are correctly defined and that you are not inadvertently applying a negative condition where a positive one is expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific condition types and rules.
  This can provide insights into how to properly configure and use statistical one-time conditions.
