• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC627 - Markup2 &1 is negative; change your entry. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC627 Markup2 &1 is negative; change your entry.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you enter a negative value in the Markup2 field during the configuration or pricing process in SAP, specifically in the context of Advanced Pricing Conditions (APC) or Variant Configuration (VC). The system expects the markup value to be zero or positive, as a negative markup does not make sense in the pricing logic.
  
  Markup2 typically refers to a percentage or amount added to a base price.
  Entering a negative value violates the business rule that markups cannot be negative.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the input value: Review the value entered in the Markup2 field and ensure it is zero or positive.
  Correct the entry: Change the negative markup value to a positive number or zero, depending on your pricing strategy.
  Validate pricing conditions: If the negative value was intended as a discount, use the appropriate discount condition type instead of a negative markup.
  Review configuration: If this error occurs during configuration, verify the pricing procedure and condition records to ensure no negative markups are defined.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: This error can appear in transactions involving pricing or variant configuration, such as VA01 (Create Sales Order), CU50 (Configuration), or pricing condition maintenance.
  Pricing Procedure: Markups are part of the pricing procedure; ensure that the procedure logic aligns with business rules.
  Condition Types: Use correct condition types for discounts (e.g., K004 for material discount) rather than negative markups.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or OSS for any patches or updates related to APC or pricing errors.
  Debugging: If the error persists despite correct entries, debugging the pricing routine or user-exits related to markup calculation may be necessary.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Error: Negative value entered in Markup2 field.
  Cause: Markup2 must be zero or positive.
  Fix: Change the negative markup to zero or a positive value; use discount conditions for reductions.
  Check: Pricing procedure, condition records, and configuration settings.
