This error indicates that the system is expecting a purchasing info record to be associated with the material and vendor combination for which you are trying to fix the price.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Purchasing Info Record: The most common cause of this error is that there is no purchasing info record (PIR) created for the specific material and vendor combination.

  Create a Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Navigate to the transaction code ME11 (Create Purchasing Info Record).
  Enter the necessary details, including the material number, vendor, and any other relevant information.

  Check Existing Purchasing Info Records:
  
  Use transaction code ME12 (Change Purchasing Info Record) or ME13 (Display Purchasing Info Record) to check if a PIR already exists for the material and vendor.
  If it exists, ensure that it is active and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Verify Material and Vendor Data:
  
  Ensure that the material and vendor data are correctly maintained in the system. Check for any discrepancies or missing information.
