  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06159 - For items without invoice receipt, please enter price 0 ?

    The SAP error message 06159 ("For items without invoice receipt, please enter price 0") typically occurs during the processing of a purchase order (PO) or goods receipt (GR) when the system expects a price to be entered for items that do not have an associated invoice receipt. This error is often encountered in the context of a service or non-stock item where the system is configured to require a price entry.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Invoice Receipt: The item in question does not have an associated invoice receipt, which means that the system is expecting a price to be entered.
    2. Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to require a price for certain types of items, especially in service procurement scenarios.
    3. Item Category: The item category used in the purchase order may not allow for a price to be entered if there is no invoice receipt.
    4. Incorrect Document Type: The document type being used may not be appropriate for the transaction being processed.

    Solution:

    1. Enter Price as 0: If the item is indeed meant to be processed without a price (for example, in the case of a service that is not being billed), you can enter a price of 0 for the item in the purchase order or goods receipt.
    2. Check Item Category: Review the item category used in the purchase order. Ensure that it is appropriate for the type of transaction you are processing.
    3. Review Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings related to the item category and the handling of invoice receipts. Adjustments may be needed to allow for processing without a price.
    4. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific requirements for the item category and document type you are using.
    5. Use a Different Document Type: If applicable, consider using a different document type that allows for processing without an invoice receipt.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. SAP frequently releases notes that address specific error messages and provide guidance on resolution.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), and MIGO (Goods Movement) to navigate the procurement process effectively.
    • User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to purchase orders or goods receipts, as restrictions may prevent you from entering a price of 0.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific SAP environment and configuration.
