• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+211 - Only materials with price determination indicator 1 or 2 will be settled. ?

  The SAP error message C+211 "Only materials with price determination indicator 1 or 2 will be settled" typically occurs during the settlement of production orders or internal orders in SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to settle a material that does not have the appropriate price determination indicator set.
  Cause:
  The price determination indicator in SAP controls how the system determines the price of materials. The indicators are as follows:
  
  1: Moving Average Price
  2: Standard Price
  3: Other (e.g., FIFO, LIFO, etc.)
  
  The error occurs because the material in question has a price determination indicator set to 3 or another value that is not eligible for settlement. Only materials with indicators 1 or 2 can be settled in the context of production or internal orders.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Accounting" view of the material in question.
  Look for the "Price Determination" field and verify its value.
  
  
  
  Change Price Determination Indicator:
  
  If the price determination indicator is set to 3 or another non-settleable value, you may need to change it to 1 or 2.
  To change the price determination indicator, you can use transaction code MM02 to modify the material master data. Note that changing the price determination indicator may have implications on your inventory valuation and accounting, so ensure that this change is appropriate for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Re-evaluate the Settlement:
  
  After making the necessary changes to the material master, attempt to settle the order again.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance/Controlling Team:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the price determination indicator or if it affects financial reporting, consult with your finance or controlling team to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
