  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB213: Conditions for triggering PPF for billing document &1 not fulfilled
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the Post Processing Framework (PPF) could not trigger the processing (such as output determination, message creation, or other follow-up actions) for the specified billing document because the predefined conditions for triggering the PPF action were not met.
  In other words, the system evaluated the conditions configured for the PPF action related to the billing document, but these conditions returned false, so the PPF action was not executed.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  
  Condition Records Missing or Incorrect:
  
  The condition records that control when the PPF action should be triggered are missing or not maintained correctly.
  
  
  Incorrect PPF Action Configuration:
  
  The PPF action assigned to the billing document type or output type may have conditions that are too restrictive or not aligned with the current document data.
  
  
  Status or Document Data Not Matching Conditions:
  
  The billing document's status or other attributes (e.g., document type, sales area, customer data) do not meet the criteria defined in the PPF action conditions.
  
  
  PPF Determination Procedure Not Assigned or Incomplete:
  
  The PPF determination procedure might not be assigned properly to the application object or the billing document type.
  
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check PPF Action Conditions:
  
  Go to transaction NWBC or SPRO and navigate to the PPF configuration for billing documents.
  Review the conditions defined for the PPF action that should be triggered.
  Verify if the conditions are too restrictive or incorrectly defined.
  
  
  
  Verify Condition Records:
  
  Check if the condition records for output determination or PPF triggering are maintained correctly.
  Use transaction NACE (for output determination) or the relevant PPF customizing transactions.
  
  
  
  Check Billing Document Data:
  
  Verify the billing document data (document type, status, sales area, etc.) to ensure it matches the conditions.
  If necessary, adjust the conditions or the document data accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review PPF Determination Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the PPF determination procedure is assigned to the billing document application object.
  Check the assignment in transaction NWBC under PPF customizing or via SPRO path:
  
  Cross-Application Components -> Post Processing Framework -> Basic Settings -> Define Determination Procedures
  
  
  
  Test PPF Triggering Manually:
  
  Use transaction NWBC or SWE2 to test the PPF action triggering manually for the billing document.
  This can help identify if the conditions are evaluated as expected.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes:
  
  Sometimes SAP releases notes related to PPF issues for billing documents. Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant OSS notes.
