• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW811 - Unexpected error - versions without corresponding price plan header ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_PPW811 Unexpected error - versions without corresponding price plan header
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP Pricing and Rebates (often in SAP IS-Retail or SAP SD Pricing) when there are price plan versions (or condition versions) that exist without a corresponding price plan header. In other words, the system finds entries for price plan versions in the database, but the main price plan header record that should logically contain these versions is missing or inconsistent.
  This inconsistency can happen due to:
  
  Incomplete or failed price plan creation or update.
  Data corruption or inconsistencies in the pricing condition tables.
  Manual database changes or transport errors.
  Incomplete or incorrect migration or data load activities.
  Custom code or enhancements that incorrectly handle price plan data.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Price Plan Header: The main record that defines the price plan.
  Price Plan Versions: Sub-records or versions linked to the header, defining validity periods or different conditions.
  
  The system expects every version to be linked to a valid header. If versions exist without a header, the system throws this error.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Data Consistency:
  
  Use transaction codes or database queries to check the consistency between price plan headers and versions.
  Tables involved might include:
  
  WRF_PPW_HEADER (Price Plan Header)
  WRF_PPW_VERSION (Price Plan Versions)
  
  
  
  
  
  Identify Orphan Versions:
  
  Find versions that do not have a corresponding header.
  Example SQL snippet:
  SELECT * FROM WRF_PPW_VERSION v
  WHERE NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT 1 FROM WRF_PPW_HEADER h
    WHERE h.PRICE_PLAN_ID = v.PRICE_PLAN_ID
  );
  
  
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  If orphan versions are found, either:
  
  Delete these orphan versions if they are invalid.
  Recreate or restore the missing price plan headers if they were accidentally deleted.
  
  
  
  
  
  Use SAP Standard Tools:
  
  Run SAP standard consistency checks or reports related to price plans.
  Check for OSS notes related to WRF_PPW811 for any SAP-provided tools or corrections.
  
  
  
  Transport and Custom Code Review:
  
  Review recent transports or custom developments that might have affected price plan data.
  Ensure no custom code is creating inconsistent price plan data.
  
  
  
  SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists, raise a message with SAP Support including detailed logs and data extracts.
