  The SAP error message C+139 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the price changes of a material in a specific currency or valuation area. This message typically arises during transactions that involve material valuation, such as goods movements, inventory management, or when performing a price change.
  Cause:
  
  
  Price Change Discrepancy: The error occurs when the price change of a material exceeds a predefined threshold in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The price change percentage is significantly higher than expected.
  There are inconsistencies in the pricing data for the material across different valuation areas or currencies.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific settings that trigger this message when price changes exceed certain limits. This is often set up to prevent accidental or unauthorized price changes.
  
  
  Currency Fluctuations: If the material is valued in multiple currencies, fluctuations in exchange rates can lead to significant price changes that trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Price Changes: Check the price change that triggered the error. Ensure that the change is intentional and within acceptable limits. If the change is valid, you may need to adjust the configuration settings to allow for larger changes.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the price change is legitimate but exceeds the threshold, consider adjusting the configuration settings in the system:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (usually found in the IMG under Material Management).
  Look for settings related to price control and thresholds for price changes.
  
  
  
  Check Currency Settings: If the issue is related to currency fluctuations, review the currency settings and exchange rates in the system. Ensure that they are up to date and correctly configured.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error message. This may provide additional insights into the configuration and settings that govern price changes.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user attempting to make the price change has the necessary authorizations to do so. Sometimes, authorization issues can lead to unexpected error messages.
