  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL323 indicates that you are trying to create a navigation link between two outbound plugs in a Web Dynpro application, which is not allowed. In Web Dynpro, outbound plugs are used to define the exit points of a view, and they are meant to lead to other views or components, not to connect to another outbound plug.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to create a navigation link from one outbound plug to another outbound plug instead of linking to an inbound plug of another view or component.
  The navigation logic is incorrectly defined in the Web Dynpro component.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify the Outbound and Inbound Plugs: Ensure that you are linking from an outbound plug of one view to an inbound plug of another view. Check the configuration of your views and their respective plugs.
  
  
  Correct the Navigation Link:
  
  Open the Web Dynpro component in the Web Dynpro Workbench.
  Navigate to the view where you are trying to create the navigation link.
  Delete the incorrect link between the outbound plugs.
  Create a new navigation link from the outbound plug of the current view to the inbound plug of the target view.
  
  
  
  Check the Component Configuration: Ensure that the target view has an inbound plug defined that can accept the navigation from the source view.
  
  
  Test the Navigation: After making the changes, test the navigation to ensure that it works as expected without any errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Web Dynpro Concepts: Familiarize yourself with the concepts of inbound and outbound plugs in Web Dynpro. Outbound plugs are used to exit a view, while inbound plugs are used to enter a view.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Web Dynpro for more detailed information on navigation and plug configurations.
  Debugging: If you continue to face issues, consider using debugging tools within the SAP environment to trace the navigation flow and identify any misconfigurations.
