  SAP Error Message: WRF_CPO001
  Message Text:
  
  Edit material &1 so that it is not OTB-relevant.
  
  1. Cause
  This error occurs when you try to perform an operation (such as creating or changing a purchase order, scheduling agreement, or other procurement documents) involving a material that is flagged as OTB-relevant (Open-to-Buy relevant), but the system requires the material to be not OTB-relevant for the particular process or configuration.
  OTB (Open-to-Buy) is a planning and budgeting concept used in retail and procurement to control purchasing budgets and limits. Materials marked as OTB-relevant are subject to budget checks and restrictions.
  The error indicates that the material's OTB relevance setting conflicts with the current process or system configuration, and the system expects the material to be non-OTB relevant.
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to change the material master data so that the material is not OTB-relevant. This involves:
  
  Step 1: Identify the material number from the error message (material &1).
  Step 2: Go to the material master transaction (e.g., MM02).
  Step 3: Navigate to the relevant view where the OTB relevance is maintained. This is typically in the Purchasing or Sales views, or in a custom field depending on your system setup.
  Step 4: Change the OTB relevance indicator to "No" or deactivate the flag that marks the material as OTB-relevant.
  Step 5: Save the changes.
  Step 6: Retry the original operation.
  
  
  3. Additional Information
  
  
  Where is OTB relevance maintained?
  
  The OTB relevance flag is often maintained in the material master under specific views or via custom fields, depending on the SAP Retail or Procurement module configuration.
  
  
  Why is this restriction in place?
  
  Certain processes or documents may not support OTB-relevant materials because they bypass budget checks or require different handling. The system enforces this to maintain data integrity and budgeting controls.
  
  
  If you need the material to remain OTB-relevant:
  
  Review the business process or configuration that triggers this error. It might be necessary to adjust the process or consult with your SAP Retail or Procurement consultant to allow OTB-relevant materials in this context.
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Sometimes, this behavior is controlled by customizing settings in Retail or Procurement modules. Check with your SAP functional team if the OTB relevance settings or validations can be adjusted.
