• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/PRC_MC001 - Cannot redetermine price as this item is frozen ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/PRC_MC001 Cannot redetermine price as this item is frozen typically occurs in the context of pricing and valuation in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials in inventory or during the procurement process. This error indicates that the system is unable to recalculate or redetermine the price for a specific item because it has been marked as "frozen." 
  Cause:
  
  
  Frozen Status: The item in question has been set to a frozen status, which prevents any changes to its pricing. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The item is part of a closed period for accounting.
  The item has been marked for a specific reason (e.g., a contract or agreement).
  The item is in a status that does not allow for price changes (e.g., during a physical inventory process).
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may enforce price freezing for specific materials or under certain conditions.
  
  
  Document Status: The document (e.g., purchase order, sales order) associated with the item may be in a status that does not allow for price changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Item Status: Review the status of the item in the material master. If it is frozen, you may need to unfreeze it or change its status, depending on your business processes.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to pricing and valuation in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings align with your business requirements and that they allow for price changes when necessary.
  
  
  Document Review: Look at the associated documents (like purchase orders or sales orders) to see if they are in a status that allows for price changes. If the document is locked or completed, you may need to create a new document or adjust the existing one.
  
  
  Consult with Finance/Controlling: If the item is frozen due to accounting reasons (e.g., closed periods), consult with your finance or controlling team to understand the implications and whether the item can be unfrozen.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) to check and modify the material status or ME22N (Change Purchase Order) to review the purchase order status.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. SAP frequently releases notes that address known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to material management and pricing procedures to understand how to manage frozen items effectively.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate user roles and permissions to make changes to material statuses or pricing.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP MM (Materials Management) or SD (Sales and Distribution) modules for further assistance.
