  The relevant transaction for maintaining condition records (e.g., VK11 for pricing conditions).
  Importing data from a backup or using a data migration tool if applicable.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code: If there are custom programs or enhancements that interact with condition records, review them to ensure they are not inadvertently deleting necessary entries.
