  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW677
  
  Text: Deletion flags in price plan &2 in status &2 are not allowed
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to set a deletion flag on a price plan that is currently in a status where deletion is not permitted. In SAP, price plans (used in pricing, rebates, or condition contracts) have different statuses (e.g., created, released, approved, etc.). Certain statuses restrict modifications such as deletion or flagging for deletion to maintain data integrity and business process compliance.
  The placeholders &2 in the message represent:  
  
  The first &2: The price plan identifier or type  
  The second &2: The current status of the price plan
  
  In essence:
  
  You are attempting to mark a price plan for deletion, but the system does not allow deletion flags for price plans in the current status.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Trying to delete or flag for deletion a price plan that is already released or approved.
  Attempting deletion in a status that requires reversal or cancellation before deletion.
  The price plan is linked to active documents or processes that prevent deletion.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Price Plan:
  
  Use transaction codes or reports to verify the current status of the price plan. For example, in condition contract or rebate management, check the status in the relevant application.
  
  
  Change the Status if Possible:
  
  If business process allows, revert the price plan to a status that permits deletion flags. This might involve:  
  
  Reversing approval or release  
  Cancelling the price plan  
  Closing related documents or processes
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  Ensure there are no active documents or processes linked to the price plan that prevent deletion.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction / Process:
  
  Follow the standard SAP process for deletion or cancellation of price plans. Sometimes, deletion is not allowed directly and requires a cancellation or archiving process.
  
  
  Consult Business Process Owner:
  
  Since status changes and deletions can impact business processes, coordinate with the responsible team to ensure compliance.
