• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+874 - Price determination IDs are different: MBEW = &1, CKMLHD = &2 ?

  The SAP error message C+874 indicates a discrepancy between the price determination IDs in the Material Master (MBEW) and the Material Ledger (CKMLHD). This error typically arises during the process of valuing materials, especially when using the Material Ledger for actual costing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the price determination ID in the Material Master (MBEW) does not match the price determination ID in the Material Ledger (CKMLHD). This can happen due to several reasons, including:
  
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of price determination settings in the system that have not been consistently applied across all relevant master data.
  Data Migration Issues: During data migration or system upgrades, inconsistencies may arise if the data is not properly aligned.
  Manual Changes: Manual updates to the Material Master or Material Ledger that lead to mismatched IDs.
  Different Valuation Methods: If different valuation methods are being used for the same material in different contexts (e.g., standard vs. moving average).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Price Determination IDs:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 to view the Material Master data and check the price determination ID in the MBEW table.

  Align the IDs:

  Update the Material Master or Material Ledger as necessary to ensure that both IDs match.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:

  Make sure that the valuation classes and price determination settings are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
