  SAP Error Message:
  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG028: Invalid promotion type &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an invalid or unsupported promotion type is used in the promotion management or pricing procedure within SAP. The system expects a valid promotion type code, but the one provided (represented by &1 in the message) does not match any of the predefined or configured promotion types.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The promotion type code is mistyped or incorrect.
  The promotion type has not been configured or activated in the system.
  The promotion type is not valid for the current context (e.g., sales document type, pricing procedure).
  Data inconsistency or missing master data related to promotion types.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Promotion Type Code:
  
  Verify the promotion type code entered in the sales document or promotion condition.
  Ensure it matches one of the valid promotion types configured in the system.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Go to the promotion type configuration in SAP:
  
  Transaction: SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Promotions ? Define Promotion Types
  
  
  Confirm that the promotion type code exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that the promotion type is correctly integrated into the pricing procedure.
  Check condition records for promotions to confirm they use valid promotion types.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data and Customizing:
  
  If the promotion type is custom, ensure it has been properly created and transported to the system.
  Check if any recent changes or transports might have affected promotion type settings.
  
  
  
  Debugging and Logs:
  
  If the issue persists, debug the pricing or promotion determination logic to identify where the invalid promotion type is being set.
  Check application logs or use transaction SLG1 for related logs.
