The message typically arises when the system detects that the status of the material or the discount is not appropriate for the deactivation process. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Status: The material or discount may be in a status that does not allow for deactivation. For example, the discount might be active in a pricing condition that is currently being used in a sales order or other transaction.
  Locked or Inactive Records: The material or discount record may be locked or inactive, preventing changes.
  Dependencies on Other Conditions: There may be dependencies on other pricing conditions or agreements that are preventing the discount from being deactivated.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration settings in the pricing procedure that are not allowing the discount to be deactivated.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Material and Discount Status: Verify the status of the material and the discount in the system. Ensure that they are not currently being used in any active transactions.
  Unlock Records: If the material or discount is locked, you may need to unlock it or change its status to allow for deactivation.
  Review Pricing Conditions: Check if there are any other pricing conditions that depend on the discount. You may need to deactivate or adjust those conditions first.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the pricing procedure to ensure that they allow for the deactivation of discounts. This may require assistance from a SAP configuration expert.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (e.g., VK11, VK12 for condition records) to check and modify the discount settings.
  Check for Open Sales Orders: Ensure that there are no open sales orders or contracts that reference the discount. If there are, you may need to resolve those first.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to pricing and discounts, such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
