• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKPRCH046 - No price changes were carried out. ?

  The SAP error message CKPRCH046 ("No price changes were carried out") typically occurs during the process of price determination in the SAP system, particularly in the context of material valuation and costing. This message indicates that the system did not find any changes to apply to the material prices during a costing run or when trying to update the price.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Changes in Costing Data: The most common reason for this error is that there are no changes in the costing data that would warrant a price update. This could happen if the cost estimates have not changed since the last update.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the costing variant or the valuation class that prevent the system from recognizing any changes.
  
  
  Locked Materials: If the materials are locked for changes (e.g., due to a previous costing run), the system may not be able to process any new price changes.
  
  
  Missing Master Data: Required master data (like material master records, BOMs, or routing) may be incomplete or missing, which can prevent the system from calculating new prices.
  
  
  Costing Run Not Executed: If the costing run has not been executed properly or if it was executed without any changes, the system will not find any new prices to apply.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Costing Data: Review the costing data for the materials in question to ensure that there are indeed changes that should trigger a price update.
  
  
  Re-run Costing: If you suspect that the costing run was not executed correctly, try re-running the costing process to see if it resolves the issue.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the costing variant and valuation class to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Unlock Materials: If materials are locked, you may need to unlock them or wait until the lock is released before attempting to update prices again.
  
  
  Update Master Data: Ensure that all necessary master data is complete and accurate. This includes checking the material master, BOMs, and routings.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Review the logs for the costing run to identify any warnings or errors that may provide additional context for why no price changes were carried out.
