How To Fix WV717 - Pr. activ. at dist. ch. lvl and ref. market-basket pr. calc. incompatible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WV - Messages about Sales Price Calculation

• Message number: 717

• Message text: Pr. activ. at dist. ch. lvl and ref. market-basket pr. calc. incompatible

What causes this issue?

In the selection screen, <DS:DE.W_WKKALEB>price activation</> at
distribution chain level has been defined for the new market-basket
price calculation. <DS:DE.W_WKKNRA>Reference market-basket price
calculation</> &V1& has also been entered.
These selections are incompatible, as entering a market-basket price
calculation is tied to an explicit plant selection. This is not
permitted for price activation at distribution chain level. It is
therefore unclear how the market-basket price calculation is to be
carried out.

System Response

The market-basket price calculation could not be started.

How to fix this error?

If you want to activate sales prices at distribution chain level for
the selected distribution chains in the market-basket price
calculation, remove the entry for reference market-basket price
calculation &V1&.
If you want to adopt data from the reference market-basket price
calculation entered, reset the price activation indicator to "Plant
level" or "Price list level".
