• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW694 - Markdown for mat.&1, org.level &2, GUID &3 is in another new price plan ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW694
  
  Markdown for mat.&1, org.level &2, GUID &3 is in another new price plan
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or modify a markdown (price reduction) for a material (mat.&1) at a specific organizational level (org.level &2), but the system detects that the markdown is already assigned to another new price plan identified by the GUID (&3). Essentially, the same markdown cannot be assigned to multiple new price plans simultaneously.
  In SAP Pricing and Conditions Management, a price plan is a collection of pricing conditions (including markdowns) that are valid for a certain period or scenario. The system enforces that a markdown condition record can only belong to one active or new price plan at a time to avoid conflicts or overlapping pricing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Price Plans:
  
  Use transaction /SAPAPO/PPDS_PRICE or the relevant pricing transaction to display existing price plans.
  Identify the price plan with the GUID mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Review Markdown Assignments:
  
  Verify if the markdown for the material and organizational level is already assigned to another price plan.
  If yes, decide whether to:
  
  Remove the markdown from the other price plan if it is no longer needed there.
  Or, modify the current price plan to avoid duplication.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Price Plans:
  
  If you want to move the markdown to the current price plan, first delete or deactivate it from the other price plan.
  Alternatively, create a new markdown condition record specifically for the current price plan.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  After adjustments, run consistency checks or simulations to ensure no overlapping or conflicting markdowns exist.
  
  
  
  Transport and Activation:
  
  If changes are made in a development or test system, ensure proper transport and activation in the production environment.
