  SAP Error Message:
  
  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG079 Missing product apportioned discount type
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Pricing or Condition Technique, particularly in scenarios involving product apportioned discounts (discounts distributed across multiple products in a sales document). The system expects a specific discount type to be assigned or maintained for the product-level apportioned discount, but it is missing or not properly configured.
  In other words, when the system tries to apply or calculate a product apportioned discount, it cannot find the required discount type in the condition records or configuration, leading to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During pricing or condition determination in sales documents (e.g., sales orders, quotations).
  When product apportioned discounts are used but the discount type is not maintained.
  In integration scenarios where discount types must be consistent and correctly assigned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Discount Type Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control ? Define Discount Types.
  Verify that the discount type for product apportioned discounts is correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Maintain Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK11/VK12 to check if the discount type condition records exist for the relevant products or customer/material combinations.
  Ensure that the discount type is assigned and valid for the sales area and validity period.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type.
  Ensure that the condition type for product apportioned discount is included and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Settings:
  
  If this error occurs during integration (e.g., with SAP CRM or SAP S/4HANA), verify that the discount types are correctly mapped and transferred.
  Ensure that the master data and condition records are consistent across systems.
  
  
  
  Debug or Trace Pricing:
  
  Use transaction PRICING or SD Pricing Trace (VK13) to analyze how the pricing procedure is executed and where the discount type is missing.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
