• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_RPR_PROMREB032 - Hier. node &1 for season &2/&3 is used simultaneously in other promotions ?

  The SAP error message WRF_RPR_PROMREB032 indicates that a hierarchical node (typically a product or category) is being used simultaneously in multiple promotions for a specific season. This can lead to conflicts in pricing or promotional strategies, as the system does not allow the same node to be part of more than one promotion at the same time.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for managing promotions to ensure compliance with best practices.
