• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM_PUR_CNTRL_CONTR070 - Updating Net Price at item level of cent. purch. cont. is not supported ?

  The SAP error message MM_PUR_CNTRL_CONTR070 indicates that there is an issue with updating the net price at the item level of a central purchasing contract. This error typically arises when you attempt to change the net price of an item in a central purchasing contract, which is not allowed in certain scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Central Purchasing Contracts: In SAP, central purchasing contracts are designed to be managed at a higher level, and certain fields, including the net price, may be locked for changes at the item level.
  Contract Type Restrictions: The type of contract you are using may have restrictions on what can be modified. For example, some contract types may not allow changes to the net price once the contract is created.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in such a way that it does not allow updates to the net price for specific purchasing organizations or contract types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Type: Review the type of central purchasing contract you are using. If it is a contract type that does not allow changes to the net price, you may need to create a new contract or use a different contract type that allows for such changes.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code for updating contracts. For example, use ME32K for changing contracts instead of other transaction codes that may not support item-level changes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP guidelines to understand the limitations and rules regarding central purchasing contracts.
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe that the error is occurring due to a system issue or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP helpdesk for guidance.
