This can occur in various scenarios, such as when condition records are created or modified, and the underlying data structures are not aligned.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Check Condition Records: Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) to check the condition records in both VAL and EVL tables. Look for any discrepancies in the data.
  Recreate Condition Records: If inconsistencies are found, you may need to delete and recreate the affected condition records to ensure that both tables are aligned.
  Use SAP Reports: SAP provides standard reports and tools to check for inconsistencies. You can use transaction /SAPCND/MAINTENANCE to access maintenance tools that can help identify and resolve inconsistencies.
  Database Consistency Check: If the issue persists, consider running a database consistency check or using transaction SE11 to analyze the database tables directly.
