  The SAP error message VE017 ("Manual condition over condition records") typically occurs in the context of pricing in sales documents, such as sales orders or quotations. This error indicates that there is a conflict between manually entered pricing conditions and existing condition records in the system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A user attempts to manually enter a pricing condition (e.g., a discount or surcharge) that conflicts with existing condition records defined in the pricing procedure.
  The system is configured to prevent manual entries when condition records are available for the same condition type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VE017 error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Review the existing condition records for the relevant condition type. You can do this using transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition Records) to see if there are any records that apply to the sales document in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Manual Entry:
  
  If you need to enter a manual condition, you may need to delete or adjust the existing condition records that are causing the conflict. This can be done using transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition Records) or VK12 (Change Condition Records).
  
  
  
  Change Pricing Procedure:
  
  If the business process allows, you can modify the pricing procedure to permit manual entries even when condition records exist. This may involve changing the configuration in the pricing procedure settings.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to condition records or pricing procedures, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant. They can provide guidance based on your organization's pricing strategy and policies.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
