  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN2043 - Key condition record: &?
  
  Meaning of the Error
  The message VN2043 typically indicates that a key condition record could not be found or is missing for a particular key combination in the pricing procedure or condition technique. The placeholder "&" in the message is replaced by the key condition record number or key that was searched for but not found.
  
  Cause
  
  The system is trying to find a condition record (e.g., for pricing, discounts, surcharges, taxes) based on certain key fields (such as vendor, material, purchasing organization, etc.).
  No condition record exists for the combination of keys used in the transaction.
  This can happen if:
  
  The condition record was never created.
  The condition record was deleted or made inactive.
  The condition record is valid only for a different validity period.
  The condition record is maintained for a different combination of keys.
  The condition type is not properly assigned or maintained in the pricing procedure or condition technique.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction MEK3 (Display Condition Records) or MEK2 (Change Condition Records) to check if the condition record exists for the relevant condition type and key combination.
  Verify the validity period of the condition record.
  If missing, create the required condition record using MEK1.
  
  
  
  Verify Condition Technique:
  
  Check the condition technique configuration in SPRO under:
  
  Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Condition Types
  Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Access Sequences
  Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Condition Tables
  
  
  Ensure the condition type is assigned correctly to the pricing procedure and the access sequence is properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Verify the pricing procedure assigned to the purchasing document type or vendor.
  Ensure the condition type is included in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Document Data:
  
  Verify that the key fields (vendor, material, purchasing org, etc.) in the purchasing document match the keys maintained in the condition record.
  
  
  
  Debugging (if necessary):
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the pricing procedure determination or condition record search might be necessary to identify why the system cannot find the record.
