  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW873 Org. set category &1 is not permitted for price plan category &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use an Organizational Set Category that is not allowed or compatible with the Price Plan Category in the SAP system.
  
  Organizational Set Category (&1): This refers to the category of the organizational set (e.g., sales organization, distribution channel, division) involved in the pricing procedure or price planning.
  Price Plan Category (&2): This refers to the category of the price plan (e.g., condition type, pricing procedure, or price plan group).
  
  The system checks the compatibility between the organizational set category and the price plan category during price planning or condition maintenance. If the organizational set category is not permitted for the given price plan category, the system throws this error.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  When maintaining or creating price plans in Price Planning Workbench (PPW) or Condition Maintenance.
  When assigning organizational sets to price plans or condition types.
  When customizing pricing procedures or condition types with organizational restrictions.
  
  
  Root Causes:
  
  Incorrect configuration in the customizing of price planning or condition types.
  The organizational set category used is not defined or allowed for the price plan category.
  Missing or incorrect entries in the customizing tables that link organizational set categories to price plan categories.
  Attempting to use an organizational set category that is not supported by the pricing procedure or price plan category.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Price Planning ? Define Organizational Set Categories for Price Plan Categories (or similar path depending on SAP version).
  Verify that the organizational set category (&1) is allowed for the price plan category (&2).
  If missing, add the organizational set category to the allowed list for the price plan category.
  
  
  
  Verify Organizational Set Category:
  
  Check the organizational set category assigned in the price plan or condition type.
  Ensure it matches the allowed categories for the price plan category.
  
  
  
  Adjust Price Plan Category or Organizational Set Category:
  
  If the organizational set category is incorrect, change it to a permitted one.
  Alternatively, if the price plan category is wrong, adjust it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Price Planning Workbench (PPW) Settings:
  
  In PPW, verify the organizational sets and their categories.
  Ensure that the organizational sets used in the price plan are correctly defined and permitted.
