• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/DD_CUSTOMIZE058 - Condition type &1 is already being used in another step ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/DD_CUSTOMIZE058 indicates that a condition type (denoted as &1 in the message) is already being used in another step of the condition technique. This typically occurs in the context of customizing pricing or other condition-based functionalities in SAP, such as in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module or the Materials Management (MM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Usage: The condition type you are trying to assign to a new step is already assigned to another step in the same pricing procedure or condition group.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the pricing procedure or condition records where the same condition type is inadvertently assigned multiple times.
  Incorrect Sequence: The sequence of steps in the pricing procedure may not allow for the condition type to be reused in the way you are attempting.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Go to the pricing procedure configuration (Transaction code: V/08 for SD or M/08 for MM).
  Review the steps in the pricing procedure to see where the condition type is already assigned.
  If you find that the condition type is indeed used in another step, you will need to decide whether to remove it from that step or to use a different condition type for your new step.
  
  
  
  Modify the Pricing Procedure:
  
  If the condition type is necessary in both steps, consider whether you can adjust the logic of your pricing procedure to accommodate both uses without conflict.
  You may need to create a new condition type if the logic requires distinct handling.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to condition types and pricing procedures to ensure you are following best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the pricing procedure to ensure that it behaves as expected and that the error does not reoccur.
