  Error Message
  W_CB324: Condition Contract &1 prepared for archiving
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform an operation on a Condition Contract that has already been flagged or prepared for archiving. In SAP, archiving is a process to move data that is no longer actively used to an archive file to improve system performance and manage data volume.
  When a condition contract is prepared for archiving, it means the system has marked it as ready to be archived, and therefore, it should not be changed or processed further in the normal transactional system.
  
  Explanation
  
  Condition Contract: A special type of contract used in SAP for managing conditions (e.g., pricing agreements, rebates).
  Prepared for Archiving: The contract has been selected for archiving, which means it is in a status where it is expected to be archived soon.
  Warning Message: The system warns you that the contract is in this state, so you should be cautious about making changes or processing it further.
  
  
  Solution / Recommended Actions
  
  
  Check Archiving Status:
  
  Verify the archiving status of the condition contract.
  Use transaction SARA (Archive Administration) to check if the contract is part of an archiving session.
  
  
  
  Avoid Changes:
  
  Do not make changes or process the condition contract further if it is prepared for archiving.
  If changes are necessary, you may need to reverse the archiving preparation or restore the contract from the archive (if possible).
  
  
  
  Consult Archiving Team:
  
  Coordinate with your SAP archiving team or basis team to understand the archiving process and whether the contract can be unmarked or restored.
  
  
  
  If Archiving Preparation Was a Mistake:
  
  You may need to reset the archiving flag on the condition contract.
  This usually requires technical intervention or specific archiving object tools.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Logs:
  
  Check the archiving logs and documentation to understand why the contract was prepared for archiving.
  This helps in deciding the next steps.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Transaction SARA: Used for managing archiving objects and sessions.
  Archiving Object: For condition contracts, the archiving object might be related to SD (Sales and Distribution) or MM (Materials Management), depending on the contract type.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to archiving condition contracts.
  Condition Contract Processing: Once prepared for archiving, the contract is considered read-only for normal business processes.
