SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 380

• Message text: Condition '&' saved and type linkage &.& <-> & created

What causes this issue?

The condition was saved. The condition was additionally activated by a
corresponding entry in the event linkage table. When event &V2&.&V3&
occurs, the condition that has just been saved is now checked before
event receiver notification. Only if this condition is actually filled
is the receiver actually started.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If workflow &V4& is to be started by the triggering of event &V2&.&V3&,
you must also ensure that the event linkage is active. The event
linkage is maintained directly in the definition of the workflow task.

  SAP Message: W8380
  Text:
  
  Condition '&' saved and type linkage &.& <-> & created
  
  1. Cause
  This message is an informational warning (note the "W" in W8380) that appears when you save a condition record in the SAP Pricing or Condition technique. It indicates that:
  
  A condition record with a particular condition type (represented by '&') has been saved successfully.
  Additionally, a type linkage between two condition types (represented by '&.& <-> &') has been created automatically.
  
  What is a type linkage?
  
  Type linkage in SAP condition technique is a mechanism that links two condition types so that changes or updates in one condition type can affect the other. This is often used to maintain consistency between related condition types, for example, linking a base price condition type with a discount condition type.
  The system creates this linkage automatically when certain conditions are met, such as when you create or change condition records that imply a relationship between condition types.
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  No corrective action is usually required.
  
  This message is informational and confirms that the system has saved the condition record and created the necessary linkage.
  
  
  Verify the linkage if needed:
  
  If you want to check or maintain the type linkage, you can do so in the condition technique customizing:
  
  Transaction: SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Condition Type Linkages  
  Or use transaction V/06 to display/change condition types and their linkages.
  
  
  
  If the linkage is unexpected or incorrect:  
  
  Review the condition types involved.
  Check if the condition records were created correctly.
  Adjust or delete the linkage if it causes issues.
