• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_DISPRO089 - Assign to activated promo only possible if checkbox assignment is marked ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_DISPRO089 Assign to activated promo only possible if checkbox assignment is marked
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Promotion Management (often in SAP IS-Retail or SAP CRM Promotions) when you try to assign a promotion to an already activated promotion document or condition without having the proper assignment checkbox selected.
  Specifically, the system enforces a control that you can only assign or link to an activated promotion if the "Assignment" checkbox (or a similar flag) is marked. This is a safeguard to prevent unintended changes or assignments to promotions that are already active and in use.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Promotions in SAP typically go through stages: creation, activation, and assignment.
  Once a promotion is activated, it is considered "locked" for certain changes.
  To assign or link other promotions or conditions to an activated promotion, you must explicitly indicate this by marking the "Assignment" checkbox.
  If you try to assign without marking this checkbox, the system throws the error WRF_DISPRO089.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Promotion Assignment Checkbox:
  
  When assigning a promotion to an activated promotion, ensure that the checkbox labeled something like "Assignment" or "Assign to activated promo" is checked.
  This checkbox is usually found on the promotion assignment screen or in the promotion header/details.
  
  
  
  Review the Promotion Status:
  
  Confirm that the promotion you are trying to assign to is indeed activated.
  If it is not activated, you may not need to mark the checkbox.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Process:
  
  If you do not want to assign to an activated promotion, consider creating a new promotion or working with a promotion in a non-activated state.
  
  
  
  Authorization and Configuration:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorization to assign promotions.
  Check if any custom validations or user-exits are enforcing this rule.

  Summary:
  The error WRF_DISPRO089 is a standard SAP safeguard to prevent assigning promotions to activated promotions unless explicitly allowed by marking the assignment checkbox. To resolve it, ensure the checkbox is marked when assigning to an activated promotion.
