  The promotion validity period has expired or not yet started.
  The promotion has been manually blocked or deactivated in the system.
  The promotion is not released or approved for use.
  There are inconsistencies or errors in the promotion master data.
  The promotion is blocked due to missing or incorrect prerequisites (e.g., missing condition records, incorrect customer/material assignment).
  
  When the system tries to apply such promotions during pricing or sales document processing, it raises this error to prevent incorrect pricing or discount application.

  Check Condition Records:
  
  Verify that all condition records related to the promotion are correctly maintained and valid.
  Ensure that the promotion is assigned to the correct customer/material groups.
