What causes this issue?

You have changed the price control from V (moving average price/periodic
unit price) to S (standard price); that is, you want the standard price
to be used as the valuation price in future. However, the moving average
price/periodic unit price is zero.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

This depends on how your system is configured:
If your system is configured such that a standard price of zero is
allowed, the system copies the moving average price/periodic unit price
to the standard price.
If your system is configured such that a standard price of zero is not
allowed, the system returns the price control to the moving average
price/periodic unit price.

How to fix this error?

If you want to allow a standard price of zero, contact your system
administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

You can allow/disallow a standard price of zero in Customizing for the
Product Master by changing the attribute of message M3 132 accordingly.
