  Solution:
  
  Refine Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using and make them more specific. Ensure that you include all necessary attributes that uniquely identify the condition record.
  Check Required Fields: Verify that all required fields for the condition type you are working with are filled in. This may include fields like customer, material, sales organization, etc.
  Review Access Sequence: Check the access sequence associated with the condition type to ensure it is correctly configured and that the fields you are using in your selection criteria are part of the access sequence.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific condition type you are working with to understand the required fields and selection criteria.
  Test with Different Criteria: If possible, try using different or more specific criteria to see if the error persists.
