• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KZ142 - Mat. & & does not have standard price control (val. cat. &) ?

  The SAP error message KZ142 indicates that a material does not have a standard price control defined, which is necessary for the valuation category specified. This error typically arises in the context of Material Management (MM) and Controlling (CO) modules when trying to perform transactions that require a standard price for the material.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Price Control Indicator: The material master record does not have a price control indicator set. The price control indicator determines how the material is valued (e.g., standard price or moving average price).
  Incorrect Valuation Category: The valuation category assigned to the material may not be compatible with the price control method being used.
  Material Type Configuration: The material type may not be configured correctly to allow for standard price control.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may be incomplete or incorrectly maintained.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Record:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM02 or MM03).
  Check the Accounting view to ensure that the price control indicator is set correctly (e.g., 'S' for standard price).
  If it is not set, you can change it to the appropriate value.
  
  
  
  Review Valuation Category:
  
  Ensure that the valuation category is appropriate for the material and that it supports standard price control.
  You can check the valuation category in the material master under the Accounting view.
  
  
  
  Material Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the material type in the Customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Ensure that the material type allows for standard price control.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Material:
  
  If the material does not exist, create a new material with the correct price control settings.
  If the material exists but is incorrectly configured, you may need to update the material master data.
