• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VE202 - Condition entered manually (condition record exists) ?

  The SAP error message VE202 ("Condition entered manually (condition record exists)") typically occurs in the context of pricing in sales documents, such as sales orders or quotations. This error indicates that a manual condition has been entered for a pricing element, but there is already a condition record in the system for that same pricing element. 
  Cause:
  
  Manual Entry Conflict: A user has manually entered a pricing condition (like a discount or surcharge) in the sales document, but the system has found an existing condition record that applies to the same pricing element.
  Condition Records: The system is designed to prevent conflicts between manually entered conditions and those defined in condition records to ensure pricing consistency and integrity.
  Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure may be set up in such a way that it does not allow manual entries when a condition record exists.
  
  Solution:
  
  Remove Manual Entry: If the existing condition record is valid and should be used, you can remove the manually entered condition from the sales document. This will allow the system to apply the condition record instead.
  Adjust Condition Records: If the manual entry is necessary, you may need to adjust or delete the existing condition record that is causing the conflict. This can be done in the condition maintenance transaction (e.g., transaction code VK11 for creating or VK12 for changing condition records).
  Review Pricing Procedure: Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type to see if it allows for manual entries when condition records exist. You may need to adjust the configuration if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and business processes.
