Promotion Level Char Vs Promotion Base Chars

47 Views

Dear Experts

As part of Promotions planning configuration.

In /SAPAPO/MP33, Maintain Promotions Key Figure - I specify a single characteristic and a single key figure for the planning area. I can only have a single entry per planning area so I maintained a key figure and a characteristic.

In /SAPAPO/MP40, Maintain Promotion Base - I specify multiple characteristics and a single key figure for a Promotion Base. This key figure is same as the one I entered in MP33 and one of the characteristic I entered is also same as MP33.

From SDP94, I now create a promotion using this promotion base I just created.

I now try to activate the promotion but I can't. This is the message "Error Occured when changing promotion" . No detailed help is available and No message number is available.

More generally what is (or need there be) the "relationship" between the characteristic of Promotion level in MP33 and the Characteristic of Promotion Base ?, if at all any

I understand and appreciate that if I am using a promotion base, I can only activate a promotion if the promotion was created for the selection that contains the characteristics of promotion base.

What then I am unable to understand is the relevance of characteristic in promotion level that I maintained in MP33

I will appreciate a business example.

Many Thanks
