  Error Message
  W_CB321: Condition Contract &1 released
  
  Cause
  This warning message appears when you try to change or delete a condition record that is assigned to a released condition contract. In SAP, once a condition contract is released (approved and active), its associated condition records are locked to prevent changes that could affect pricing or agreements already in effect.
  
  Explanation
  
  Condition Contract: A special type of contract used in SAP to manage pricing agreements with customers or vendors.
  Released Status: Indicates that the contract has been approved and is active.
  Condition Record: Pricing conditions linked to the contract.
  
  When a condition contract is released, the system restricts modifications to ensure data integrity and compliance with agreed terms.
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Check Contract Status: Verify if the condition contract is indeed released.
  
  Use transaction ME33K (Display Contract) or ME32K (Change Contract) to check the status.
  
  
  
  If Changes Are Necessary:
  
  
  Option 1: Create a New Condition Contract
  
  If the contract is released and changes are needed, create a new contract or a new version of the contract with the updated conditions.
  
  
  Option 2: Revoke Release (if allowed)
  
  If your business process and authorization allow, you can revoke the release of the contract to make changes:
  
  Use transaction ME32K to change the contract.
  Navigate to the release strategy and revoke the release.
  Make the necessary changes to the condition records.
  Release the contract again.
  
  
  
  Option 3: Use Validity Dates
  
  Instead of changing existing condition records, create new condition records with updated validity dates to supersede the old ones.
  
  
  
  
  Consult Business Process Owners: Since changing released contracts can have legal or business implications, always coordinate with the relevant stakeholders before making changes.
