    SAP Error Message WL018: "Conditions were checked"


    1. Cause

    The message WL018 - "Conditions were checked" typically appears in the context of SAP Workflow or Condition Technique processing. It is an informational or warning message indicating that the system has evaluated the condition records relevant to a particular business process or transaction.

    • In Workflow, this message can appear when the system checks conditions to determine the path or steps to execute.
    • In Pricing or Condition Technique, it indicates that the system has performed the condition check (e.g., pricing conditions, output conditions) but no further action or error is implied by this message alone.

    In summary:
    The message means that the system has successfully checked the conditions defined for the process, and this is a normal part of processing.


    2. Solution

    Since WL018 is generally an informational message, it does not indicate an error that needs correction. However, if you see this message and the process does not continue as expected, consider the following:

    • Verify Condition Records: Check if the relevant condition records exist and are correctly maintained for the transaction or workflow step.
    • Check Workflow or Process Configuration: Ensure that the workflow or condition technique is properly configured to handle the conditions and subsequent steps.
    • Review Message Handling: Sometimes, informational messages can be configured to appear as warnings or errors. Check message control settings if this message is interrupting processing.
    • Debug or Trace: If the process stops unexpectedly after this message, use debugging or workflow trace to identify where the process is halted.
