  This warning message appears when you are trying to proceed in a transaction (usually in pricing or condition maintenance) without specifying a condition type where it is mandatory. Condition types in SAP define the pricing elements such as discounts, surcharges, taxes, or base prices.
  Common scenarios where this message occurs:
  
  When maintaining or creating pricing conditions in transactions like VK11, VK12, VA01, MEK1, or other condition-related transactions.

  Enter a valid condition type in the required field. Condition types are usually 4-character alphanumeric codes like PR00 (standard price), K004 (material discount), MWST (tax), etc.

  In case you are customizing pricing procedures, ensure that the condition types are correctly assigned and maintained.
