  The SAP error message /SCWM/CONDTECH_BASIC018 indicates that a packing specification (Pack. spec.) is not activated because there are no valid condition records associated with it. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to use a packing specification that has not been properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Condition Records: The primary cause of this error is that there are no valid condition records for the specified packing specification. Condition records are necessary for the system to determine how to pack items based on certain criteria (e.g., product, packaging material, etc.).
  Incorrect Configuration: The packing specification may not have been set up correctly in the system, or it may not be linked to the relevant products or packaging materials.
  Inactive Packing Specification: The packing specification itself may be inactive or not properly defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create or Update Condition Records:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction for maintaining condition records for packing specifications (e.g., using transaction code /SCWM/PRC or similar).
  Ensure that you create or update the condition records for the packing specification in question. Make sure to include all necessary details such as the relevant products and packaging materials.
  
  
  
  Check Packing Specification Configuration:
  
  Go to the packing specification configuration in the system and verify that it is correctly set up.
  Ensure that the packing specification is active and properly linked to the relevant products.
  
  
  
  Activate the Packing Specification:
  
  If the packing specification is inactive, you may need to activate it. This can usually be done in the same configuration area where you manage packing specifications.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by attempting to use the packing specification again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
