• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MLCCS052 - Ending inventory price from Business Add-In is zero ?

  The SAP error message MLCCS052, which states "Ending inventory price from Business Add-In is zero," typically occurs in the context of Material Ledger and Inventory Management. This error indicates that the system is unable to determine a valid ending inventory price for a material due to a Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation that is returning a zero value.
  Cause:
  
  BAdI Implementation Issues: The Business Add-In (BAdI) that is responsible for calculating the ending inventory price may not be implemented correctly or may not be returning a valid price.
  Data Issues: There may be missing or incorrect data in the material master, valuation data, or inventory records that could lead to a zero price being calculated.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the Material Ledger or Inventory Management could also lead to this error.
  Custom Logic: If there is custom logic implemented in the BAdI, it may not be handling certain scenarios correctly, resulting in a zero price.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation: Review the implementation of the BAdI related to inventory price calculation. Ensure that it is correctly implemented and that it returns a valid price.
  
  Use transaction code SE19 to check the implementation of the BAdI.
  Ensure that the logic within the BAdI is correctly calculating the price based on the required parameters.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the affected materials. Ensure that all necessary fields are populated correctly, including valuation class, price control, and any other relevant fields.
