• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_OTB020 - The level is not unique ?

  The SAP error message WRF_PRC_OTB020 ("The level is not unique") typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with the condition technique used in pricing procedures. This error indicates that there is a conflict or ambiguity in the pricing levels defined for a particular condition type.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Unique Condition Records: The error usually arises when there are multiple condition records that match the same criteria for a specific pricing level. For example, if you have multiple records for the same customer, material, and sales organization combination, the system cannot determine which record to use.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the pricing procedure or condition types may not be set up correctly, leading to overlapping or conflicting records.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data (like customer or material master) that lead to multiple valid entries for the same condition.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Records: 
  
  Go to the transaction code VK13 (Display Condition) and check the condition records for the relevant condition type. Look for duplicates or overlapping records that could cause the ambiguity.
  Ensure that the records are unique for the combination of fields that are relevant for the pricing.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure configuration in V/08. Ensure that the condition types are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting entries.
  Check the sequence of condition types and ensure that they are defined in a way that avoids conflicts.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the customer and material master data to ensure that there are no inconsistencies or duplicates that could lead to multiple condition records being applicable.
  
  
  
  Use Condition Exclusion:
  
  If necessary, you can use condition exclusion to prevent certain condition records from being considered in specific scenarios.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
