  The SAP error message SIC_NORM_ENGINE040 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of an interface variable in a condition type. This typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP, particularly when using the condition technique.
  Cause:
  The error message "Interface variable &2 of condition type &1 not assigned to interface" usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Assignment: The interface variable (e.g., a field or parameter) is not properly assigned to the condition type in the pricing procedure or condition record.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the pricing procedure or condition type settings, leading to the system not recognizing the variable.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements, they may not be correctly implemented, leading to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies or missing elements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/06 (for condition types) and check the configuration of the condition type mentioned in the error message.
  Ensure that the interface variable is correctly assigned to the condition type.
