• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW692 - Price plan &1, mtl &2: only full deletion of mtl allowed in promotions ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_PPW692 Price plan &1, mtl &2: only full deletion of mtl allowed in promotions
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to partially delete or modify a material (mtl) in a price plan that is linked to a promotion. In SAP Promotion Management (often part of SAP Retail or SAP IS-Retail), price plans associated with promotions have restrictions on how materials can be deleted or changed. Specifically, only a full deletion of the material from the price plan is allowed, not partial deletions or modifications.
  This restriction ensures data consistency and integrity in promotional pricing scenarios, where partial changes could lead to incorrect pricing or promotion calculations.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Price Plan: A structure that defines prices for materials over a period.
  Material (mtl): The product or SKU involved in the price plan.
  Promotion: A marketing activity that offers special prices or discounts.
  
  When a price plan is linked to a promotion, SAP enforces stricter rules on editing materials within that plan.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Full Deletion Only:
  
  If you need to remove a material from a price plan linked to a promotion, you must delete the entire material entry from the price plan, not just parts of it.
  
  
  Check the Price Plan Status:
  
  Ensure the price plan is not active or locked. Sometimes, you may need to unlock or set the price plan to a modifiable status before deletion.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  Use the appropriate SAP transaction or tool for managing price plans and promotions, such as:
  
  WPR1 (Create Price Plan)
  WPR2 (Change Price Plan)
  WPR3 (Display Price Plan)
  
  
  
  Verify Promotion Link:
  
  If you want to modify materials partially, consider whether the price plan should be linked to the promotion or if a new price plan should be created for the changes.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any SAP Notes related to WRF_PPW692 for patches or updates that might affect this behavior.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WRF_PPW692 or promotion price plan restrictions.
  Best Practice: Always backup or transport price plans carefully, especially when linked to promotions.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Attempting partial deletion/modification of a material in a promotion-linked price plan.
  Solution: Perform a full deletion of the material from the price plan.
  Additional: Ensure correct transaction usage and check promotion linkage before editing.
