  The SAP error message VK420, which states "Specified condition record key combination is not defined," typically occurs in the context of pricing and condition records in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid condition record for the specified key combination in the pricing procedure.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Missing Condition Records: The specific condition record for the pricing element (like discounts, surcharges, etc.) has not been created for the combination of key fields (such as customer, material, sales organization, etc.) being used.
  
  
  Incorrect Key Combination: The key combination being used in the transaction does not match any of the defined key combinations in the condition records.
  
  
  Condition Type Configuration: The condition type may not be properly configured in the pricing procedure, or it may not be assigned to the relevant sales area.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data (like customer or material master) that prevent the system from finding the correct condition records.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VK420 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
