This error typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) modules. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  Cause:
  
  Condition Record Limits: The error arises when a value (like a discount, surcharge, or price) in a condition record exceeds the maximum limit set in the system. This limit can be defined in the condition type settings.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration for the condition type may have a maximum value set, and the value being entered or calculated exceeds this limit.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the condition type configuration in the SAP system (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant path: Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control > Define Condition Types.
  Look for the condition type that is causing the error and check its settings for any maximum value limits.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Limit:
  
  If the limit is too restrictive for your business needs, consider adjusting the maximum value in the condition type configuration.
  Ensure that any changes made are in line with business rules and pricing strategies.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Check the specific condition record that is causing the error (Transaction code: VK11 for creating or VK12 for changing).
