  Material Master Data: The material in question may not have a valid price maintained in the material master record. This can happen if the material is newly created and the price has not yet been set.
  Price Control: The price control indicator (Standard Price or Moving Average Price) may not be set correctly, or the price may not have been updated after a goods movement.

  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed, preventing updates to the material price.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master: Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify that the price is maintained correctly in the relevant views (e.g., Accounting view).
  Update Price: If the price is missing, update it using transaction code MR21 (Change Price) or through the appropriate transaction for your business process.
  Review Price Control: Ensure that the price control indicator is set correctly for the material. If it is set to Standard Price, ensure that a standard price is maintained.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the Material Ledger in transaction code OML2 to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
  Open Posting Period: If the posting period is closed, you may need to open it temporarily to allow for the necessary updates.
