  1. Cause
  This message is a warning (indicated by the "W") that appears during sales document processing (e.g., sales order, delivery, billing) when the system detects that the pricing and rebate indicators in the document have been updated or changed automatically.
  Typically, this happens when:
  
  The system recalculates or updates pricing conditions or rebate agreements during document processing.
  There is a change in the pricing procedure or rebate agreements that affects the current document.
  The pricing or rebate indicators initially entered differ from those determined by the system based on master data or condition records.
  The system adjusts the indicators to ensure consistency with the current pricing and rebate setup.
  
  
  2. Meaning
  
  The message informs the user that the system has updated the pricing and rebate indicators to reflect the correct or current values.

  Review the updated indicators: Check the pricing and rebate indicators in the sales document to understand what has changed.
  Verify master data and condition records: Ensure that the pricing procedure, rebate agreements, and condition records are correctly maintained.
  Accept the update: Usually, no further action is required if the updated indicators are correct and expected.
