• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UAVM155 - There is still a price in the price history table for material &1 ?

  The SAP error message UAVM155 indicates that there is still a price recorded in the price history table for a specific material. This typically occurs when you attempt to change or delete a material's price in the system, but the system finds that there are historical price records that prevent this action.
  Cause:
  
  Historical Price Records: The primary cause of this error is that the material in question has historical price records stored in the price history table (e.g., table MBEW for material valuation).
  Material Status: The material may be in a status that does not allow for price changes or deletions.
  Open Purchase Orders: There may be open purchase orders or contracts that reference the material at the existing price.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UAVM155 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Price History:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the price history table (MBEW) for the material. Look for any entries that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Historical Prices:
  
  If appropriate, you can delete or adjust the historical price records. However, be cautious with this step, as it may affect financial reporting and inventory valuation.
  
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Ensure that the material is not blocked or in a status that prevents price changes. You can check this in the material master data.
  
  
  
  Review Open Purchase Orders:
  
  Check for any open purchase orders or contracts that reference the material. If there are any, you may need to close or adjust these documents before changing the price.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance or Controlling:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing historical prices, consult with your finance or controlling department to ensure compliance with accounting standards.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) to attempt to change the material price again after addressing the issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: Understanding how material master data is structured and how price changes affect inventory valuation is crucial.
  Price Control: Familiarize yourself with the price control indicators (Standard Price vs. Moving Average Price) in SAP, as they can affect how prices are managed.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on material valuation and price history management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant for further assistance.
