• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/MAINTENANCE426 - At least one condition record is write-protected and was not copied ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/MAINTENANCE426 indicates that there is an issue with condition records in the SAP system, specifically that at least one condition record is write-protected and could not be copied during a maintenance operation. This typically occurs when you are trying to copy or modify condition records in the condition maintenance transaction (e.g., using transaction codes like VK11, VK12, or VK31).
  Cause:
  
  
  Write Protection: The condition record you are trying to copy or modify is write-protected. This can happen if:
  
  The record is locked by another user.
  The record is marked as "not modifiable" due to certain settings or configurations.
  The record is part of a transport request that is not yet released.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify the condition records.
  
  
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the operation from being completed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction SM12 to check if the condition record is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait for that user to release the lock or contact them to resolve the issue.
  
  
  Review Write Protection Settings: 
  
  Check the settings of the condition records to see if they are marked as write-protected. You can do this by reviewing the condition type settings in transaction V/06 (for pricing conditions) or V/07 (for discounts).
  If the condition records are part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify the condition records. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  Data Consistency: If there are data inconsistencies, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to resolve any underlying issues.
  
  
  Manual Adjustment: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to manually adjust the condition records or consult with your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11, VK12, VK31, SM12, SU53, and V/06 or V/07.
