  The SAP error message WRF_PCM124, which indicates a "Parallel Processing (RWRF_PRICAT_TERMINATION): System Error," typically arises during the execution of parallel processing tasks in the SAP system, particularly in the context of pricing and condition records. This error can occur for various reasons, including system resource limitations, configuration issues, or data inconsistencies.
  Causes:
  
  System Resource Limitations: The error may occur if the system is running low on memory or processing power, which can happen during high-load periods or when processing large volumes of data.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the parallel processing configuration can lead to errors. This includes settings related to the number of parallel processes allowed or the configuration of the pricing conditions.
  Data Inconsistencies: If there are inconsistencies or errors in the data being processed (e.g., missing or incorrect condition records), it can lead to failures in the parallel processing tasks.
  Locking Issues: If multiple processes are trying to access the same data simultaneously, it can lead to locking issues that cause the parallel processing to fail.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check System Resources: Monitor the system's performance and resource usage. If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling the processing during off-peak hours or increasing system resources (e.g., memory, CPU).
