These exception details indicate that the uniform timing product or location level is set lower in your hierarchy than the uniform pricing product or location level in the hierarchy. In general, the validations that exist in the SAS® Merchandise Intelligence Client do not allow markdown plans to be created with invalid optimization settings. However, invalid optimization settings can be created when the following conditions occur:
- The administrator has disabled editing of the uniform timing level by the plan creators.
- A plan creator sets the uniform pricing level above the default uniform timing level.
The workaround is to adjust the uniform pricing, inventory pooling, and uniform timing settings to ensure that the uniform timing levels are at or above the uniform pricing levels.
