• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VKKS003 - Entry added as a new entry ?

  The SAP error message VKKS003 ("Entry added as a new entry") typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in the SAP system, particularly when working with condition records in the pricing procedure. This message indicates that the system has added a new entry to the condition table instead of updating an existing one.

  Condition Record Not Found: The system could not find an existing condition record that matches the criteria for the pricing condition you are trying to maintain or change.
