  The SAP error message MM062 indicates an incompatibility in price control between material price determination and material type. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration settings for the material's price control and its material type.

  Material Master Data: The material master record may have been incorrectly set up, leading to a conflict between the price control and the material type.
  Price Control Settings: The price control settings in the material master (e.g., 'S' for standard price or 'V' for moving average price) do not match the expected settings for the material type.

  Check Material Type Settings: Review the configuration of the material type in transaction code OMT0 (Material Types). Ensure that the price control settings are correctly defined for the material type you are using.
