• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8Z349 - Manual price change not possible ?

  The SAP error message 8Z349, "Manual price change not possible," typically occurs in the context of pricing in SAP, particularly when dealing with sales orders, purchase orders, or other documents where pricing is determined by the system rather than manually entered.
  Cause:
  
  Pricing Procedure Configuration: The pricing procedure may be configured in such a way that it does not allow manual changes to the price. This can be due to settings in the pricing condition records or the configuration of the pricing procedure itself.
  Condition Records: There may be existing condition records that are overriding manual price entries. If a condition record is found for a specific material or service, the system will use that price instead of allowing a manual entry.
  Document Type Settings: Certain document types may have restrictions on manual price changes. For example, sales orders created from a quotation may inherit the pricing from the quotation and not allow changes.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change prices manually in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Pricing Procedure: Review the pricing procedure assigned to the document type in question. Ensure that it allows for manual price changes. You may need to adjust the configuration in the SPRO transaction under Sales and Distribution or Materials Management.
  Review Condition Records: Check if there are any active condition records for the material or service in question. You can do this using transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) to see if a condition record is preventing manual changes.
  Document Type Configuration: Verify the settings for the document type being used. Ensure that it is configured to allow manual price changes if that is the desired behavior.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make manual price changes. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
  Consult SAP Notes: Sometimes, specific issues may be addressed in SAP Notes. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes that might provide additional insights or solutions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition) for managing pricing conditions.
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to pricing procedures and condition techniques for a deeper understanding of how pricing is managed in SAP.
  Testing: If changes are made to the configuration, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the changes have the desired effect and do not introduce new issues.
  
  If the problem persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP functional consultant who specializes in pricing or to reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
