SAP Message WU522 - Announcement category is not maintained for the promotion

Diagnosis
If a promotion allocation table is generated in which the quantities tobe distributed to the individual plants are determined by a centralallocation rule, the quantity may be changed as a result of a replyfrom a plant. The announcement category in the promotion determineswhether a plant can send this reply.
As the reply cannot currently be created directly in the promotion, butonly by using the allocation table functionality, the announcementcategory must be specified when the promotion allocation table isgenerated.

System Response
The allocation table cannot be generated.

Procedure
The announcement category is usually defined in the basic data for thepromotion.
