• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VE116 - Manual condition / Condition record exists ?

  The SAP error message VE116 ("Manual condition / Condition record exists") 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 the pricing conditions that are being applied and the existing condition records in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Existing Condition Records: The error arises when there is a manual condition set in the pricing procedure, but there is already a condition record that exists for the same condition type. This can happen if:
  
  A manual price is entered for a product, but there is also a valid condition record for that product in the pricing master data.
  The system is trying to apply a condition that conflicts with the existing records.
  
  
  
  Pricing Procedure Configuration: The pricing procedure may be configured in such a way that it does not allow for manual entries when certain condition records are present.
  
  
  Condition Exclusion: The system may be set up to exclude certain conditions based on specific criteria, leading to conflicts when manual entries are attempted.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Condition Records: Check the condition records for the relevant condition type in the pricing procedure. You can do this using transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) to see if there are existing records that conflict with your manual entry.
  
  
  Adjust Manual Pricing: If you need to use a manual price, you may need to delete or adjust the existing condition record that is causing the conflict. This can be done using transaction code VK12 (Change Condition).
  
  
  Modify Pricing Procedure: If the pricing procedure is not allowing manual entries due to its configuration, you may need to adjust the pricing procedure settings. This typically requires access to configuration settings in the SAP system (transaction code SPRO).
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific condition types and pricing procedures to understand how they interact and what configurations might be causing the issue.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to enter pricing correctly and understand the implications of manual pricing versus condition records.
