  SAP Error Message:
  WSTP038 Condition type &1 does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or use a condition type that is not defined in the system. Condition types are used in pricing procedures, output determination, or other business processes to determine pricing, discounts, surcharges, taxes, etc.
  The placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual condition type code that the system could not find.
  Common reasons for this error include:
  
  The condition type has not been created or maintained in the system.
  The condition type was deleted or is inactive.
  A typo or incorrect condition type code was entered in the configuration or master data.
  The pricing procedure or output determination procedure references a non-existent condition type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Definition:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (for pricing condition types) or the relevant customizing transaction for the module you are working with.
  Verify if the condition type mentioned in the error message exists.
  If it does not exist, create the condition type or correct the reference.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure or Output Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure (transaction V/08) or output determination procedure to ensure that all condition types referenced are valid and active.
  Remove or replace any invalid condition types.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data and Configuration:
  
  Verify that the condition type is correctly assigned in master data (e.g., customer/material pricing records).

  If the condition type was recently created in a development system, ensure it has been transported to the current system.
