• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+151 - Price control (new) must be S for price determination (new) 3 ?

  The SAP error message C+151 indicates an issue related to the price control settings for a material in the system. Specifically, it states that the price control for the material must be set to "S" (Standard Price) when the price determination method is set to "3" (Moving Average Price). This error typically arises during the creation or modification of a material master record.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Price Control Settings: The material master record has a price control setting that does not match the required configuration for the specified price determination method.
  Incorrect Configuration: The material is configured to use a price determination method that is incompatible with the current price control setting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the price control and price determination settings are consistent. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Material Master Record:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number and select the appropriate views (usually Accounting and Purchasing).
  Check the "Price Control" field. If it is set to "V" (Moving Average Price), you need to change it to "S" (Standard Price) if the price determination method is set to "3".
  
  
  
  Adjust Price Determination Method:
  
  If you want to keep the price control as "V", you need to change the price determination method to a compatible one (e.g., "1" for Standard Price).
  This can be done in the same material master views.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the material master record.
