System Response

If you change the price unit or the price control indicator, the old
active price is copied to the new price field and cannot be changed.
Any values you enter on the screen are overwritten.
&BEISPIEL&
The price control indicator was V. Thus, the old active price was a
moving average price. If you now change the indicator to S (standard
price), the new standard price is treated as equivalent to the moving
average price.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3155 - Prices have been recalculated ?

  The SAP error message M3155, which states "Prices have been recalculated," typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory management processes. This message indicates that the system has recalculated the prices for materials due to changes in the underlying data, such as changes in the cost structure, pricing conditions, or other relevant factors.
  Cause:
  
  Price Changes: The most common cause is a change in the price of a material, which can occur due to updates in the pricing conditions or changes in the cost of goods sold.
  Material Master Changes: Changes made to the material master data, such as updates to the valuation class or price control indicators, can trigger a recalculation of prices.

  Review Material Master Data: Check the material master data for any recent changes that might have triggered the recalculation. Ensure that the pricing conditions are set correctly.
  Check Pricing Conditions: Review the pricing conditions in the system to ensure they are accurate and reflect the current pricing strategy.
  Analyze Transaction Logs: Look into transaction logs or change documents to identify what changes were made that led to the recalculation.
