  The SAP error message /SAPCND/ANALYSIS212 indicates that a header condition has been entered manually in a sales document (like a sales order or quotation), but there is already a condition record that exists for that condition type. This situation typically arises in the context of pricing and condition records in SAP's pricing procedure.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Entry Conflict: The user has manually entered a condition (like a discount or surcharge) in the header of the document, but the system has found an existing condition record for that same condition type.
  Condition Records: The condition records are set up in the system for specific customers, materials, or other criteria, and the system is designed to prevent manual entries that conflict with these records.

  Solution:
  
  Review Condition Records: Check the existing condition records for the relevant condition type. You can do this by navigating to the condition records in the pricing procedure (transaction code VK13 for display).
  Remove Manual Entry: If the existing condition record is valid and should be used, remove the manual entry from the header of the document. The system will then automatically pull the condition from the existing record.
  Adjust Condition Records: If the manual entry is necessary, consider adjusting the condition records to accommodate the manual entry. This may involve changing the validity dates, customer/material combinations, or other criteria.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the pricing procedure settings. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for manual entries under certain conditions.
