  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG090: Invalid merchandise category hierarchy level &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the merchandise category hierarchy level specified in a process (such as pricing, promotions, or assortment planning) is invalid or not recognized by the system. Specifically, the hierarchy level provided does not exist or is not properly maintained in the merchandise category hierarchy setup.
  In SAP Retail or SAP Merchandise Management, merchandise categories are organized in hierarchical levels (e.g., Department, Category, Subcategory). Each level must be correctly defined and consistent across the system. If an invalid or undefined level is referenced, the system throws this error.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  During promotion or pricing integration where merchandise category hierarchy levels are used.
  When setting up or maintaining merchandise category hierarchies.
  When importing or integrating data that references merchandise category levels not defined in the system.
  Custom developments or interfaces passing incorrect hierarchy level values.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Merchandise Category Hierarchy Setup:
  
  Go to the transaction or IMG path where merchandise category hierarchies are maintained.
  Verify that the hierarchy levels are correctly defined and active.
  Ensure the hierarchy level number referenced in the error message (&1) exists.
  
  
  
  Validate Integration or Interface Data:
  
  If the error occurs during data import or integration, check the source data for correct hierarchy level values.

  Adjust Custom Code or Configuration:
  
  If custom developments or enhancements are involved, review the code to ensure it references valid merchandise category hierarchy levels.
  Update the code or configuration to use valid levels.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Refresh Hierarchy:
  
  Sometimes, hierarchy inconsistencies can be resolved by rebuilding or refreshing the merchandise category hierarchy in the system.
