How To Fix W8323 - Simulated evaluation of the condition returns &1 error(s)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: W8 - Workflow: Expressions, data flow

• Message number: 323

• Message text: Simulated evaluation of the condition returns &1 error(s)

What causes this issue?

Conclusive evaluation of the condition is not possible. The most common
reason for this situation is that test data is missing. Typically, it is
not possible to determine expressions used in the condition since the
required container elements have not been set or because components of
objects concerned do not return a value.

How to fix this error?

Choose <PF><LS>Test->Test Messages</></> for more precise information
on the problems that occurred.
Values for the container expressions can either be entered manually (
<LS>Test->Enter Test Data</>), or you can access the container of an
existing work item (<LS>Test->Retrieve test data for work item</>). To
access an existing work item, you require the work item ID, which you
can determine using the <DS:TRAN.SWI1>Work Item Selection</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W8323 - Simulated evaluation of the condition returns &1 error(s) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W8323 - Simulated evaluation of the condition returns &1 error(s)
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs during the simulation or evaluation of a condition (often in the context of pricing, output determination, or other condition technique scenarios) when the system detects one or more errors in the condition evaluation logic.
  
  The system tries to simulate the condition to check if it can be applied correctly.
  During this simulation, it encounters errors such as missing data, inconsistent data, or invalid condition records.
  The number of errors encountered is displayed in the message (&1 is replaced by the actual number).
  
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incomplete master data (e.g., customer, material, pricing conditions).
  Incorrect or incomplete condition records.
  Errors in the condition formula or access sequence.
  Missing prerequisite data for condition evaluation (e.g., missing pricing procedure, missing condition type in the procedure).
  User-exit or custom code errors during condition evaluation.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this warning, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Detailed Error Log:
  
  Look for detailed error messages or logs related to the condition evaluation.
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), or V/06 (Condition Types) to review condition records.
  Check the pricing procedure and access sequences in V/08 or V/07.
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Ensure all relevant master data (customer, material, pricing master data) is complete and consistent.
  Check if the condition records exist and are valid for the given sales area, validity period, and other key fields.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Technique Setup:
  
  Verify the condition tables, access sequences, and condition types are correctly configured.
  Check if the condition formula or routines (user-exits, BADIs) used in condition evaluation are error-free.
  
  
  
  Simulate Condition Evaluation Manually:
  
  Use transaction PRICING or simulate the pricing procedure in the sales document to identify which condition causes the error.
  Debug or trace the pricing procedure if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code:
  
  If user-exits, BADIs, or enhancements are involved in condition evaluation, review the custom code for errors or exceptions.
  Debug the code to find the root cause.
  
  
  
  Correct the Errors:
  
  Fix missing or incorrect condition records.
  Adjust the condition formula or access sequence.
  Update master data as needed.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Simulation:
  
  After corrections, simulate the condition evaluation again to ensure no errors occur.

  VK12 - Change Condition Records
  V/06 - Condition Types
  V/07 - Access Sequences
  V/08 - Pricing Procedures
  VA01/VA02 - Sales Order Processing (to test pricing)
  SE38/SE80 - For debugging custom code
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to pricing or condition technique errors for your specific SAP version.
  Sometimes, OSS notes provide patches or corrections for known issues.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use debugging tools to step through the pricing or condition evaluation logic.
  Set breakpoints in user-exits or BADIs related to pricing.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  W8323 indicates that the system found errors during the simulated evaluation of a condition. The root cause is usually missing or incorrect condition data, configuration errors, or custom code issues. The solution involves checking condition records, master data, configuration, and custom code, then correcting the errors and re-simulating the condition evaluation.
