  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTP045 – Delete the ruling price and reactivate the promotion sales price (&1)
  
  Cause of the Error
  This error occurs in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Pricing when you try to activate or use a promotional sales price, but the system detects that a "ruling price" (standard or base price) is still active or assigned. The system requires that the ruling price be deleted or deactivated before the promotional price can be activated or used.
  In other words, the system enforces a rule that only one price (either ruling price or promotional price) can be active at a time for a given condition record or pricing scenario. If the ruling price is still active, the promotion price cannot be activated, leading to this error.
  
  When Does This Happen?
  
  When maintaining condition records for pricing in transaction codes like VK11/VK12.
  When activating or changing promotional pricing conditions.
  When trying to apply a promotion price in sales documents but the system finds an active ruling price condition conflicting with it.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Delete or deactivate the ruling price condition record:
  
  Go to the condition record maintenance (e.g., VK12).
  Find the ruling price condition record that is currently active.
  Delete or deactivate it (e.g., by setting the validity dates accordingly or deleting the record).
  
  
  
  Reactivate the promotional sales price:
  
  After the ruling price is removed, activate the promotional price condition record.
  Ensure that the promotional price is valid and active for the required period.
  
  
  
  Check pricing procedure and condition types:
  
  Verify that the pricing procedure is correctly set up to handle promotional prices.
  Ensure that the condition types for ruling price and promotional price are correctly configured and do not conflict.
  
  
  
  Check for overlapping validity periods:
  
  Sometimes, overlapping validity periods for ruling and promotional prices cause conflicts.
  Adjust validity dates so that only one price is valid at a time.
