This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Info Record: The system may not have a valid purchasing info record for the material and vendor combination, which is necessary for determining the price.
  
  
  Missing Purchase Order: If the goods receipt is being processed without a corresponding purchase order, the system will not have the necessary pricing information.
  
  
  Price Control Settings: The material master may have incorrect price control settings (e.g., moving average price vs. standard price) that prevent the system from determining the price.
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master may not have been set up correctly, or the relevant fields (like valuation class or price determination) may be missing or incorrect.
  
  
  Currency Issues: If there are discrepancies in currency settings between the purchase order and the goods receipt, the system may not be able to determine the price.

  Check Info Records: Verify that there is a valid purchasing info record for the material and vendor combination. If it is missing, create or update the info record.
