• 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:
  
  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.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to require a price for certain types of items, especially in service procurement scenarios.
  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.
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type being used may not be appropriate for the transaction being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  Use a Different Document Type: If applicable, consider using a different document type that allows for processing without an invoice receipt.
