  W8399 - Reserved for workflow condition editor (300 - 399)
  
  Cause:
  The message W8399 is a warning message reserved internally by SAP for the Workflow Condition Editor. It is not a standard error triggered by user actions or system errors but rather a placeholder or reserved message number within the range 300-399 for workflow-related conditions.
  This message typically appears when there is an issue or placeholder related to workflow conditions, such as:
  
  A workflow condition is not properly defined or is incomplete.
  The system is trying to evaluate a workflow condition that is reserved or not fully implemented.
  Custom workflow conditions or enhancements might be referencing this reserved message number incorrectly.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message number range 300-399 is reserved for workflow condition editor messages.
  W8399 itself is a generic placeholder and does not provide detailed information.

  Check Workflow Conditions:
  
  Review the workflow conditions in the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).

  If custom workflow conditions or user exits are implemented, verify that they do not use or trigger this reserved message number.
  Adjust custom code to use appropriate message classes and numbers.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
