    • Binding modules are automatically generated by the system when you define screen flow logic (e.g., PBO/PAI modules) in the function group’s screens.
    • This message is informational and not an error; it informs the developer that the system has created or updated the binding module as part of the function group activation.

    2. When does it occur?

    • When you activate a function group that contains screens with flow logic.
    • The system generates or updates the binding module to handle the screen flow logic.
