  Error Message
  W_CB293: There is no valid condition before &1
  
  Message Class: CB2 (or related to Condition Technique in Pricing)
  Type: Warning (W)
  
  
  Cause
  This warning typically occurs in the Pricing or Condition Technique area of SAP when the system tries to determine a valid condition record for a pricing condition type or other condition types (e.g., discounts, surcharges, taxes), but no valid condition record is found for the specified date or context.
  More specifically:
  
  The system is processing a pricing condition or condition type.
  It looks for a valid condition record that applies before a certain date (usually the document date or pricing date).
  No condition record is found that is valid before the date indicated by the placeholder &1.
  This means the condition record validity periods do not cover the date in question, or no condition record exists at all.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order pricing or billing.
  When the system tries to find a condition record for a pricing condition type.
  When condition records have validity periods, and the document date falls outside these periods.
  When condition records are missing or incorrectly maintained.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Go to transaction VK13 (Display Condition Records).
  Enter the relevant condition type and access sequence.
  Check if condition records exist for the relevant combination of keys (e.g., customer/material).
  Verify the validity period of the condition records.
  Ensure that there is a condition record valid before the date mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Maintain or Extend Condition Records:
  
  If no valid condition record exists, create or extend the validity period of the condition record using VK11 (Create Condition Records).
  Make sure the validity period covers the document date or the date the system is trying to price.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Verify that the pricing procedure is correctly assigned and that the condition type is included.
  Ensure that the condition type is correctly configured in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Access Sequence:
  
  Verify the access sequence assigned to the condition type.
  Make sure the access sequence is correctly maintained and that condition tables contain valid data.
  
  
  
  Check Document Date:
  
  Sometimes the document date or pricing date might be incorrect or outside the expected range.
  Adjust the date if necessary.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This warning does not stop the document from being processed but indicates that pricing might be incomplete or incorrect.
  It is important to resolve this warning to ensure correct pricing and avoid downstream issues in billing or reporting.
  The message variable &1 usually contains the date or condition type for which no valid condition was found.
  You can check the pricing log in the sales order (menu: Environment ? Pricing Analysis) to see which condition types are causing the issue.
