• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_MAIN148 - Price change doc. posted for &1; new price updated for valuation type &2 ?

  The SAP error message SGT_MAIN148 indicates that a price change document has been posted for a specific material (denoted by &1) and that a new price has been updated for a particular valuation type (denoted by &2). This message typically arises in the context of materials management and inventory valuation in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Price Change Document: The error usually occurs when there is an attempt to process a transaction (like a goods movement or invoice) that is inconsistent with the current price set for the material in the system. This can happen if:
  
  A price change document has been posted after the last transaction was processed.
  The valuation type for the material has been updated, leading to discrepancies in the expected price.
  
  
  
  Valuation Type: The valuation type is a key component in the material master that determines how the material is valued. If the valuation type has been changed or if there are multiple valuation types for the same material, it can lead to confusion in pricing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Price Change Documents: Review the price change documents that have been posted for the material. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (like ME23N for purchase orders or MB51 for material documents) to see the history of price changes.
  
  
  Update Transactions: If you are trying to post a transaction (like a goods receipt or invoice) that is affected by the price change, ensure that you are using the correct valuation type and that the transaction is consistent with the latest price.
  
  
  Reprocess Transactions: If necessary, you may need to reverse or adjust the transactions that are causing the error. This may involve:
  
  Reposting the transaction after ensuring that the price and valuation type are correct.
  Updating the material master data if there are discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling price changes and valuation types. This can provide insights into best practices and troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide more detailed analysis and support based on your specific system configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  MM03: Display Material Master
  ME23N: Display Purchase Order
  MB51: Material Document List
  MRBR: Release Blocked Invoices
  
  
  
  Material Master: Understand how the material master is structured, especially the views related to accounting and purchasing, as they can impact pricing and valuation.
  
  
  Price Control: Be aware of the price control settings (Standard Price vs. Moving Average Price) in the material master, as they can affect how price changes are handled.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
