  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW679
  
  Text: Price plan change of price plan &1 in status '&2' is not permitted.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to change or modify a price plan that is currently in a status which does not allow changes. In SAP, price plans (used in pricing, billing, or contract management scenarios) have defined statuses that control their lifecycle and whether they can be edited.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The price plan is already released, approved, or locked for changes.  
  The price plan is in a finalized or archived status.  
  The system configuration or business rules restrict changes to price plans in certain statuses to ensure data integrity and compliance.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the status of the price plan:  
  
  Identify the current status of the price plan &1 (the actual price plan number will be shown in the message).  
  You can do this by viewing the price plan details in the relevant SAP transaction or table.
  
  
  
  Understand the status meaning:  
  
  Refer to your organization's business process or SAP documentation to understand what the status &2 means (e.g., Released, Locked, Approved).
  
  
  
  If changes are necessary:  
  
  If the price plan is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to:  
  
  Reverse or rollback the status to a modifiable state (if your business process allows). This might involve unlocking or reopening the price plan.  
  Create a new price plan instead of modifying the existing one, if the current one is finalized.  
  Consult with your SAP administrator or business process owner to get approval or assistance in changing the status.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check authorization:  
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to change price plans in the given status.
  
  
  
  Review configuration:  
  
  Sometimes, the status control is governed by customizing in SAP (e.g., in pricing or contract management). Review the configuration to understand status controls.
