• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM_PUR_SES177 - For purchase order item &1, date of GR is used for price determination. ?

  The SAP error message MM_PUR_SES177 indicates that there is an issue with the price determination for a purchase order item. Specifically, it states that the date of Goods Receipt (GR) is being used for price determination, which may not be appropriate in certain scenarios.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the following situations:
  
  Price Control Settings: The material master may be set to use a specific price control (e.g., moving average price or standard price) that is not compatible with the date of the GR.
  GR Date vs. PO Date: The system is trying to determine the price based on the GR date rather than the purchase order date, which can lead to inconsistencies if the prices have changed since the PO was created.
  Price Changes: If the price of the material has changed after the purchase order was created but before the goods receipt, the system may not be able to determine the correct price to use for the GR.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record and check the price control settings. Ensure that the price control (moving average price or standard price) is appropriate for your business process.
  
  
  
  Review Purchase Order:
  
  Check the purchase order for any inconsistencies. Ensure that the prices in the PO are correct and reflect the current pricing conditions.
  
  
  
  Adjust GR Date:
  
  If possible, adjust the GR date to match the PO date or ensure that the GR is processed in a manner that aligns with the pricing conditions.
  
  
  
  Update Pricing Conditions:
  
  If the price has changed, consider updating the pricing conditions in the system to reflect the new price before processing the GR.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further analysis and troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as ME23N (Display Purchase Order), ME21N (Create Purchase Order), or MM03 (Display Material) to review and edit the relevant documents.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on price determination and material management processes.
  User Exits and BAdIs: In some cases, custom logic implemented through user exits or BAdIs may affect price determination. Review any custom code that may be impacting this process.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
