  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the appropriate transaction code for maintaining condition records. For example, use VK11 for creating, VK12 for changing, and VK13 for displaying condition records.
  Review Configuration: If you have access, review the configuration settings in the condition technique to see if there are any restrictions on maintaining condition records that reference other records.
