• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01876 - Cannot change price control &1; fixed in configuration ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01876, which states "Cannot change price control &1; fixed in configuration," typically occurs when there is an attempt to change the price control setting of a material that is configured to be fixed in the system. This usually relates to the material master data, specifically the price control indicator.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Price Control: The material is set with a fixed price control (e.g., "S" for standard price) in the configuration, which means that the price cannot be changed once it is set.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the material master or the controlling area may have restrictions that prevent changes to the price control.
  Material Status: The material may have a status that restricts changes to its price control settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM02) and check the price control field. If it is set to a fixed value, you will not be able to change it directly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the SAP system (transaction code SPRO) under the relevant sections for material management and controlling. Look for settings related to price control and ensure that they allow for the desired changes.
  
  
  
  Change Material Type:
  
  If necessary, consider changing the material type to one that allows for more flexibility in price control settings. This may involve creating a new material with the desired settings.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the implications of changing settings, consult with an SAP Basis or functional consultant who can provide guidance based on your specific system setup.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) or MM03 (Display Material) to review and analyze the material settings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Price Control Indicators: In SAP, common price control indicators include:
  
  "S" for Standard Price
  "V" for Moving Average Price
  
  
  Material Master Views: The price control setting is typically found in the Accounting view of the material master.
  Impact of Changes: Changing the price control can have significant implications for inventory valuation and financial reporting, so it should be done with caution and proper understanding of the consequences.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the error persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
