• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC691 - Use reference distr. channel &1 instead of &2 to create prices ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC691 Use reference distr. channel &1 instead of &2 to create prices
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during pricing or condition maintenance in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Variant Configuration (VC) when the system detects that the distribution channel used for creating or maintaining prices is not the correct one. Instead, the system expects you to use a reference distribution channel (indicated by &1) rather than the currently used distribution channel (&2).
  This typically happens in scenarios where pricing is maintained centrally or standardized for a particular distribution channel, and the system enforces the use of that reference channel to avoid inconsistencies or duplicate pricing records.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Distribution Channel (&2): The distribution channel currently used in the pricing or condition record.
  Reference Distribution Channel (&1): The distribution channel that should be used as per system configuration or business rules for creating or maintaining prices.
