• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW751 - Start of validity has already passed; price plan &1 was adjusted ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_PPW751 Start of validity has already passed; price plan &1 was adjusted
  typically occurs in the context of Pricing Conditions and Price Plans in SAP, especially when working with condition records or price plans in Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM).
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the start date of validity for a price plan or condition record is in the past relative to the current system date or the date you are trying to save or activate the price plan.
  SAP automatically adjusts the start date of the price plan to the current date or a valid future date because the originally entered start date is no longer valid (it has already passed).
  This usually happens when you try to create or change a price plan with a validity start date that is before today's date or before the system's current date.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Price plans and condition records have validity periods defined by start and end dates.
  SAP enforces that the start date of a price plan cannot be in the past when creating or activating it.
  If you enter a start date that is already expired, SAP adjusts it to the current date and issues this warning message to inform you of the adjustment.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Check the validity dates you entered for the price plan or condition record.
  Set the start date of validity to today’s date or a future date before saving or activating the price plan.
  If you want to maintain historical pricing, consider creating a new price plan with appropriate validity dates rather than adjusting old ones.
  Review the system date and user date settings to ensure they are correct.
  If the adjustment is acceptable, you can proceed after acknowledging the message.
