• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC626 - Markup1 &1 is negative; change your entry. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC626 Markup1 &1 is negative; change your entry.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you enter a negative value in the field Markup1 during the configuration or pricing process in SAP, specifically in the context of Advanced Pricing or Variant Configuration (often related to pricing procedures or condition records). The system expects the markup value to be zero or positive, as a negative markup does not make sense in the given business context.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Markup1 typically refers to a markup percentage or amount applied to a base price or cost.
  Entering a negative value implies a discount or reduction, which should be handled differently (e.g., via a discount condition type).
  The system validation prevents negative values to avoid incorrect pricing calculations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the input value:
  
  Review the value entered in the Markup1 field. Ensure it is zero or a positive number.
  
  
  Correct the entry:  
  
  If you intended to apply a discount, use the appropriate discount condition type instead of a negative markup.
  If the markup should be positive, correct the value accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review pricing procedure:
  
  If this error occurs during pricing procedure configuration, verify the condition records and ensure no negative values are maintained where not allowed.
  
  
  Consult business requirements:
  
  Confirm with the pricing or sales team whether a negative markup is valid in your scenario. If yes, you may need to adjust the pricing logic or condition types used.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is part of the validation checks in SAP pricing or variant configuration.
  Negative values in markup fields are generally not allowed because markups represent additional charges or percentages added to a base price.
  Discounts or rebates should be handled with separate condition types designed for reductions.
  If you are working in Variant Configuration (VC), check the characteristics or pricing procedures related to the configuration profile.
