  The SAP error message SGT_MAIN010 indicates that there is an issue with changing the price control for a material in the system. The message typically states: "Cannot change price control &1; fixed in configuration." This error arises when you attempt to change the price control of a material that is set to a fixed configuration in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Price Control: The material's price control is set to a fixed value (e.g., standard price or moving average price) in the material master data, and the system does not allow changes to this setting due to configuration settings.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration in the SAP system may have been set to prevent changes to the price control for certain materials or under certain conditions.
  Material Type Restrictions: Certain material types may have restrictions on changing price control settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Accounting" view to see the current price control setting.
  If you need to change the price control, ensure that the material is not locked or restricted from changes.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings in the configuration for material management (transaction code SPRO).
  Look for settings related to price control and material types to see if there are restrictions in place.
  
  
  
  Change Material Type:
  
  If the material type is causing the restriction, consider changing the material type (if applicable) to one that allows for the desired price control changes.
  
  
  
  Create a New Material:
  
  If changing the price control is not possible due to system restrictions, consider creating a new material with the desired price control settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on price control settings and restrictions.
