• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VK065 - The condition record entered already exists ?

  The SAP error message VK065, which states "The condition record entered already exists," typically occurs when you are trying to create a new condition record in the pricing procedure, but a record with the same key already exists in the system. This can happen in various modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM), where condition records are used for pricing, discounts, surcharges, etc.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: You are attempting to create a condition record that has the same key (e.g., condition type, validity period, and other relevant fields) as an existing record.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the data you are entering, leading to a conflict with existing records.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent duplicate entries for certain condition types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Before creating a new condition record, check if a record with the same key already exists. You can do this by using transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to view existing records.
  Modify Existing Record: If you find that a record already exists and you need to change it, use VK12 to modify the existing condition record instead of creating a new one.
  Adjust Validity Dates: If the existing record is valid for a different period, you may need to adjust the validity dates of the new record you are trying to create.
  Use Different Key Combinations: If you need to create a new record, ensure that the combination of fields (like condition type, customer, material, etc.) is unique.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific condition type you are working with to understand the requirements and constraints.
