• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W4221 - &: & conditions deleted ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W4221: "& conditions deleted"
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  The warning message W4221 indicates that certain conditions in a pricing procedure or condition record have been deleted or removed. This typically happens when:
  
  A condition record or condition type that was previously assigned to a document (e.g., sales order, billing document) no longer exists or has been deleted in the system.
  The pricing procedure has been changed, and some condition types are no longer valid or have been removed.
  The system automatically deletes conditions that are no longer applicable due to changes in master data, pricing procedure, or condition records.
  
  This message is a warning, not an error, meaning the system informs the user that some conditions were deleted but processing can continue.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order processing, billing, or pricing runs.
  When copying documents where conditions in the source document no longer exist in the target.
  After changes in pricing procedures or condition records.
  When condition records are manually deleted or become invalid.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  
  Check the pricing procedure:
  
  Verify if the pricing procedure assigned to the document type or sales area has been changed recently.
  Ensure all required condition types are still valid and assigned.
  
  
  
  Review condition records:
  
  Check if the condition records for the deleted conditions still exist.
  If condition records were deleted intentionally, confirm that this is expected and no impact on pricing occurs.
  
  
  
  Analyze document pricing:
  
  Use transaction VA03 (Display Sales Order) or relevant transaction to check the pricing conditions.
  Check the pricing analysis (press F5 in the sales order item) to see which conditions are missing or deleted.
  
  
  
  Adjust master data or pricing procedure:
  
  If conditions are missing due to master data changes, update the master data accordingly.
  If the pricing procedure was changed, ensure it is consistent with business requirements.
  
  
  
  Recreate missing conditions if necessary:
  
  If the deleted conditions are required, recreate the condition records or adjust the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Ignore if expected:
  
  If the deletion of conditions is expected and does not affect pricing correctness, the warning can be safely ignored.
