  Error Message
  WRF_PPW825
  
  You cannot delete org. levels with own prices for promotion price plans.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to delete organizational levels (such as sales organizations, distribution channels, divisions, or other relevant org levels) from a Promotion Price Plan in SAP, but those organizational levels have their own assigned prices within the promotion price plan.
  In other words, the system prevents deletion because the org level contains specific price data (own prices) that would be lost or orphaned if the org level were deleted. SAP enforces this to maintain data integrity and avoid inconsistencies in pricing data.
  
  Explanation
  
  Promotion Price Plans in SAP allow you to define special prices for promotions.
  These price plans can be maintained at different organizational levels.
  If an org level has its own prices defined (i.e., prices that differ from the parent or default level), the system requires you to first remove or clear those prices before deleting the org level.
  Deleting an org level with assigned prices could lead to loss of pricing data or inconsistencies in the promotion pricing structure.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Prices at the Org Level:
  
  Go to the promotion price plan maintenance transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/PPW1 or the relevant transaction in your system).
  Navigate to the organizational level you want to delete.
  Verify if there are any prices maintained specifically for that org level.
  
  
  
  Delete or Clear Prices:
  
  If prices exist, delete or clear these prices from the org level.
  This might involve setting prices to zero, removing price entries, or resetting to default prices.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After clearing the prices, save the changes.
  
  
  
  Delete the Organizational Level:
  
  Now, try deleting the organizational level again.
  Since no own prices exist at this level, the system should allow deletion.
  
  
  
  Transport and Testing:
  
  If this is done in a development or test system, ensure the changes are transported properly.
  Test the promotion price plan after deletion to confirm everything works as expected.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  /SAPAPO/PPW1 - Promotion Price Plan Maintenance  
  /SAPAPO/PPW2 - Display Promotion Price Plan  
  Or other custom transactions depending on your SAP APO or Retail system setup.
  
  
  
  Related Notes and Documentation:  
  
  Check SAP Notes related to promotion price plans and org level maintenance for any patches or updates.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on Promotion Price Planning for detailed process steps.
  
  
  
  Best Practices:  
  
  Always backup or document current price plans before making deletions.
  Coordinate with pricing and sales teams to ensure no active promotions are disrupted.
  Use transport requests to move changes from development to production.
