  W8321 - Choose a relational operator in the condition first
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are defining or editing a condition in SAP (often in the context of pricing, condition technique, or selection criteria) and you have not specified a relational operator (such as =, <>, >, <, >=, <=) for the condition record or condition table entry.

  While maintaining condition records in pricing or other condition techniques.
  When setting up or modifying condition tables or access sequences.
  When defining selection criteria in reports or queries that require a relational operator.
  In custom developments or user exits where conditions are programmatically checked but the operator is missing.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a relational operator: Go back to the condition maintenance screen and enter a valid relational operator for the condition.
