Reproducing the Issue

Go to Sales work center.

- Warning message appears: 'Initial contact instance detected. Please enter an ID or delete'.
Cause
This warning message appears if there is an initial contact in the involved parties of the Sales Quote. The system issues the warning message to give a hint to the user to fill the initial (blank contact line without contact content) line.
The system allows the user to Add a contact without information as in some use-cases this may be added at a later point.
