  Attributes of condition '&1' changed
  
  1. Cause
  This warning message appears when you attempt to change the attributes of an existing condition record in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the system detected a modification in the condition attributes (such as validity period, condition type, or other key fields) of a condition record that already exists.
  In SAP Pricing or Condition Technique, condition records are usually created with specific attributes. Changing these attributes directly can affect pricing or other business logic, so SAP issues this warning to alert the user.
  
  2. Explanation
  
  Condition records are used in pricing, output determination, or other condition techniques.
  Each condition record has attributes like condition type, validity dates, scales, etc.
  When you try to change these attributes for an existing condition record, SAP warns you because such changes can have significant impacts on pricing or business processes.
