  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW862
  
  Text: Status change from "&1" to "&2" not possible because price plan changed
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to change the status of a pricing condition record or a related object, but the system detects that the underlying price plan has been changed or modified in a way that prevents the status change.
  More specifically:
  
  The status change you are attempting (e.g., from "Created" to "Released") is not allowed because the price plan associated with the condition record or contract has been altered.
  The system enforces consistency and integrity of pricing data, so if the price plan has been changed after the condition record was created or last processed, it blocks the status change to avoid inconsistencies.
  This often happens in scenarios involving price plans in Sales and Distribution (SD) or Contract Management where price plans are linked to condition records or contracts.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When you try to release or change the status of a condition record or contract that is linked to a price plan that has been modified.
  When price plans are maintained or updated after condition records have been created.
  During mass changes or updates in pricing conditions or contracts.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Price Plan:
  
  Verify if the price plan linked to the condition record or contract has been changed recently.
  Use transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) or relevant contract/price plan transactions to inspect the price plan.
  
  
  
  Reconcile Changes:
  
  If the price plan was changed unintentionally, revert the changes or adjust the condition record accordingly.
  If the price plan changes are valid, you may need to update or recreate the condition record or contract to align with the new price plan.
  
  
  
  Status Change Sequence:
  
  Ensure that the status change you are trying to perform is valid in the current system state.
  Sometimes, you may need to reset or roll back the status before applying the new status.
  
  
  
  Consult Pricing Procedures:
  
  Check the pricing procedure and condition types involved to ensure they are consistent with the price plan.
