  SAP Error Message: WRF_APC533
  Text: You cannot change the markdown profile assignment for material &1
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to change the markdown profile assignment for a material that already has existing markdown data or transactions linked to it. In SAP Retail, once markdowns have been processed or recorded for a material, the system restricts changes to the markdown profile to maintain data consistency and integrity.
  The markdown profile controls how markdowns (price reductions) are handled for a material. Changing it after markdowns have been applied could lead to inconsistencies in pricing, reporting, or historical data.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When trying to change the markdown profile in the material master (usually in the sales or retail-specific views).
  When the material has existing markdown postings or markdown transactions in the system.
  When the system detects that changing the profile could affect existing markdown data.
