  SAP Error Message:
  
  WG083 - Wrong promotion number. Material &, plant &, promotion &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system cannot find or validate the specified promotion number for the given material and plant. It typically happens during sales order processing or pricing when a promotion number is entered that:
  
  Does not exist in the system.
  Is not valid for the specified material and plant.
  Has expired or is not yet valid.
  Is incorrectly entered or mistyped.
  
  Promotions in SAP are often managed via condition records or special pricing agreements linked to materials and plants. If the promotion number is not correctly maintained or assigned, the system throws this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Promotion Number Validity:
  
  Verify that the promotion number exists in the system.
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition Records) or V/06 (Maintain Pricing Conditions) to check if the promotion number is maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Material and Plant Assignment:
  
  Confirm that the promotion number is valid for the specific material and plant combination.
  Promotions might be restricted to certain materials or plants; ensure the combination is correct.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Period:
  
  Verify the validity dates of the promotion.
  Ensure the promotion is active on the date of the sales order or transaction.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  Ensure the promotion number is entered correctly without typos.
  If the promotion number is entered manually, confirm with the sales or marketing team for the correct number.
  
  
  
  Update or Create Promotion:
  
  If the promotion number does not exist or is incorrect, create or update the promotion record accordingly.
  Use transaction VK31 (Maintain Pricing Conditions) or relevant promotion management transactions.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  In some cases, the error might be due to missing or incorrect configuration in promotion or pricing procedures.
  Review the pricing procedure and condition types related to promotions.
