  The SAP error message 6D418 indicates that a partner (such as a vendor, customer, or other business partner) is still being used in conditions, which prevents certain actions from being taken, such as deleting or changing the partner record. This error typically arises in the context of pricing conditions or other transactional data where the partner is referenced.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The partner (e.g., a customer or vendor) is still linked to existing condition records in the pricing or sales documents.
  The system is trying to delete or modify the partner record, but it is still actively referenced in the conditions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Conditions:
  
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) or VK31 (Maintain Condition) to check if the partner is linked to any condition records.
  You can also use transaction SE16N to query the relevant tables (e.g., KONH, KONP) to find any condition records associated with the partner.
  
  
  
  Remove or Update Conditions:
  
  If you find that the partner is indeed linked to condition records, you will need to either:
  
  Delete the condition records that reference the partner.
  Update the condition records to remove the partner reference or replace it with another partner.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Related Documents:
  
  Ensure that there are no open sales orders, purchase orders, or other documents that reference the partner. If there are, you may need to update or close those documents.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you are unsure about deleting or modifying condition records, consult with your pricing or sales team to ensure that you are not disrupting any business processes.
  
  
  
  Retry the Action:
  
  After ensuring that the partner is no longer referenced in any conditions or documents, retry the action that initially triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK13, VK31, SE16N, and others that can help you manage condition records and partner data.
