  Causes:
  
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to allow maintenance of condition records. This could be due to settings in the condition technique or the specific configuration of the pricing procedure.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to maintain condition records. This can be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Transport Layer: The system might be in a transport layer that does not allow changes to be made, such as a production environment where changes are restricted.
