• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8_2037 - No price determination was performed ?

  The SAP error message M8_2037 "No price determination was performed" typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory valuation. This error indicates that the system was unable to determine the price for a material during a transaction, such as a goods movement or invoice verification.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Price Control Indicator: The material master record may not have a price control indicator set (e.g., moving average price or standard price).
  No Valid Price: There may be no valid price maintained for the material in the system, or the price may not be valid for the transaction date.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may be incomplete or incorrectly configured, particularly in the accounting view.
  Transaction Type: The type of transaction being performed may not support price determination (e.g., certain types of goods movements).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the pricing procedure or valuation area that prevent price determination.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master: 
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the accounting view. Ensure that the price control indicator is set and that a valid price is maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Prices:
  
  If the material is set to use a moving average price, ensure that there are purchase orders or goods receipts that have established a price. For standard price materials, ensure that a standard price is set in the material master.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to perform is appropriate for the material and that it supports price determination.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the pricing procedure and valuation area to ensure they are set up correctly. This may require access to the configuration settings in SPRO.
