• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW854 - You can only merge pure price list organization sets ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_PPW854 – "You can only merge pure price list organization sets."
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to merge organization sets in SAP Pricing Workbench (PPW) that are not "pure price list" organization sets. In SAP, a "pure price list" organization set refers to an organization set that contains only price list organizations without any other types of organizations (such as sales organizations, distribution channels, etc.).
  The system restricts merging to only those organization sets that are homogeneous in terms of their content type. If you try to merge an organization set that includes mixed organization types or non-price list organizations with a pure price list organization set, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Organization Sets in SAP PPW are groups of organizational units used to define the scope of pricing conditions.
  A pure price list organization set contains only price list organizations.
  Merging is only allowed between organization sets of the same type to maintain data consistency and integrity.
  Attempting to merge a mixed or non-pure price list organization set with a pure price list organization set violates this rule.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Organization Sets:
  
  Review the organization sets you are trying to merge.
  Verify if both sets are pure price list organization sets.
  You can do this by checking the types of organizations included in each set.
  
  
  
  Separate Mixed Organization Sets:
  
  If one or both organization sets contain mixed organization types, separate the price list organizations into a new pure price list organization set.
  Only merge organization sets that are purely price list organizations.
  
  
  
  Create New Pure Price List Organization Sets:
  
  If necessary, create new organization sets that contain only price list organizations.
  Use these new sets for merging.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Merging Procedure:
  
  After ensuring both organization sets are pure price list types, proceed with the merge operation again.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  Pricing Workbench (PPW) transactions where organization sets are maintained.
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to PPW and organization set management for any patches or updates.
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  SAP Help Portal documentation on Pricing Workbench and organization sets.
  
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Always maintain clear and consistent organization sets.
  Avoid mixing different organization types in a single set if you plan to merge them later.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_PPW854 is triggered because SAP only allows merging of organization sets that are purely composed of price list organizations. To resolve this, ensure that both organization sets involved in the merge are pure price list sets by separating or creating new sets as needed before merging.
