This error indicates that the system is unable to find a promotion that is referenced by the promotion ID (&1).

  Consult with IT or SAP Support: If the promotion should exist but is not found, consult with your IT department or SAP support team to investigate any potential data synchronization issues or system errors.
  Review Context: Ensure that the promotion is applicable in the current context (e.g., check the store, date, and product relevance).
