  SAP Error Message:
  
  WPM_PROMO_2003 – Display material(s) added to promotion
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in SAP Promotion Management (part of SAP Retail or SAP IS-Retail) when you try to add a material to a promotion, but the system detects that the material is already assigned to the promotion or a related promotion document. It is an informational or warning message indicating that the material you are trying to add is already included in the promotion.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system prevents duplicate entries of the same material in a promotion to avoid inconsistencies in pricing, discounts, or promotional conditions.
  This message can also appear if the material is part of a promotion that overlaps in time or scope with the current promotion.
  It helps maintain data integrity and ensures that promotional calculations are accurate.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Promotion Assignments:
  
  Review the promotion to see if the material is already assigned.
  Use transaction codes related to promotion management (e.g., WPM_PROMO, WPM_PROMO_MAINTAIN) to display the promotion details.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Entries:
  
  If the material is already part of the promotion, there is no need to add it again.
  If you intended to modify the promotion for that material, edit the existing entry rather than adding a new one.
  
  
  
  Check Promotion Validity Periods:
  
  Ensure that the promotion periods do not overlap in a way that causes conflicts.
  Adjust the validity dates if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Promotion Documentation:
  
  Review the promotion setup and business rules to confirm if multiple entries for the same material are allowed or if they should be consolidated.
  
  
  
  If Necessary, Remove or Adjust Entries:
  
  If the material should not be part of the promotion, remove it from the existing promotion before adding it again.
