• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW849 - No markdown proposals exist ?

  The SAP error message WRF_PPW849: No markdown proposals exist typically occurs in the context of Pricing and Conditions in SAP, especially when working with Markdowns in Sales and Distribution (SD) or Retail Pricing scenarios.
  
  Cause
  
  The error "No markdown proposals exist" means that the system could not find any valid markdown proposals (price reductions or discounts) applicable for the given condition or transaction.
  This usually happens when:
  
  No markdown condition records have been maintained or created for the relevant material, customer, or pricing scenario.
  The validity period of the markdown proposals does not cover the transaction date.
  The pricing procedure or condition technique is not correctly configured to pick up markdown proposals.
  The relevant markdown proposal is not released or active.
  The system is looking for markdown proposals in a scenario where none are defined or applicable.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Markdown Condition Records:
  
  Verify that markdown condition records exist for the material/customer/pricing scenario.
  Use transaction VK11/VK12 or the relevant transaction for maintaining markdown proposals.
  Ensure the condition records are valid for the transaction date.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Period:
  
  Confirm that the markdown proposals are valid for the date of the sales document or pricing run.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure includes the markdown condition types.
  Check the condition technique and access sequences to confirm that markdown proposals are correctly integrated.
  
  
  
  Check Release Status:
  
  If markdown proposals require release or approval, verify that they are released and active.
  
  
  
  Debug or Trace Pricing:
  
  Use transaction PRICING or enable pricing trace (e.g., via /SAPAPO/PRC_TRACE or standard SD pricing trace) to see why no markdown proposals are found.
  This can help identify missing or incorrect condition records or configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Retail or SD Pricing Configuration:
  
  If working in Retail, check Retail-specific markdown setup.
  In SD, check if the markdown condition types are properly assigned and configured.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Markdown Proposals are typically used in Retail or Sales scenarios to apply planned price reductions.
  Condition types related to markdowns often start with Z or Y (custom) or specific standard condition types like MWST (Markdown Sales Tax), but this depends on your system.
  The error is often seen during pricing or condition update steps.
  SAP Notes or documentation related to markdowns and pricing procedures may provide additional guidance.
  If using SAP Retail, check Retail Pricing and Markdown Management documentation.
  For debugging, SAP transaction VK13 (Display Condition Records) can help verify existing markdown proposals.
