  Error Message
  WS_EA315: Document &1 is not related to a condition contract
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a document (such as a billing document, delivery document, or sales order) is expected to be linked to a condition contract (a special type of contract used for pricing or rebate agreements), but the system cannot find such a link.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  The document is processed in a context where a condition contract is mandatory (e.g., rebate settlement, condition contract billing).
  The document number (&1) referenced in the error is not assigned or linked to any valid condition contract.
  The condition contract might have expired, been deleted, or not properly maintained.
  The document was created without referencing the condition contract, or the link was lost due to data inconsistencies.
  
  
  Explanation
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), condition contracts are used to manage special pricing agreements, rebates, or other conditions that apply to sales documents. When processing documents that require referencing these contracts (e.g., during rebate settlement or condition contract billing), the system checks if the document is linked to a valid condition contract.
  If the system cannot find this link, it raises the WS_EA315 error, indicating that the document is not related to any condition contract, and therefore the process cannot continue.
  
  Solution / Resolution Steps
  
  
  Check Document Linkage:
  
  Verify if the document number mentioned (&1) is correctly linked to a condition contract.
  Use transaction codes like VA43 (Display Contract) or VA42 (Change Contract) to check the condition contract.
  Check the sales document or billing document to see if the condition contract number is referenced.
  
  
  
  Verify Condition Contract Validity:
  
  Ensure the condition contract is active and valid for the document date.
  Check the validity period and status of the condition contract.
  
  
  
  Maintain or Assign Condition Contract:
  
  If the document is missing the condition contract reference, assign the correct condition contract to the document.
  This might involve updating the sales order or billing document to include the contract number.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Review the configuration related to condition contracts and rebate processing.
  Ensure that the system is set up to correctly link documents to condition contracts.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify documents missing condition contract links.
  Correct any inconsistencies found.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Document:
  
  After correcting the linkage, try to reprocess the document (e.g., billing run, rebate settlement).
