• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NAA600 - The price determination date is not in the validity period (GR) ?

  The SAP error message NAA600, which states "The price determination date is not in the validity period (GR)," typically occurs during the goods receipt (GR) process when the system is unable to determine the price for the material being received. This is often due to the price determination date falling outside the validity period of the price conditions defined in the system.

  Missing or Incorrect Conditions: There may be missing or incorrectly maintained pricing conditions in the system for the material or vendor.

  Review Material Master: Check the material master data to ensure that all relevant fields are correctly filled out, especially those related to purchasing and pricing.
