• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W/155 - Sales price currency cannot be changed ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W/155 Sales price currency cannot be changed
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to change the currency of the sales price in a sales document (e.g., sales order, quotation) after the price has already been determined or entered. In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), once the sales price currency is set and pricing is carried out, the system does not allow changing the currency arbitrarily because it can lead to inconsistencies in pricing, billing, and accounting.
  Typically, this happens if:
  
  You try to manually change the currency in the sales document header or item after pricing has been performed.
  The sales document already contains pricing conditions or has been partially processed.
  The currency is derived from the customer master or sales area data and is not meant to be changed freely.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve or avoid this warning:
  
  
  Avoid changing the currency after pricing:
  
  Ensure that the correct currency is entered before pricing is carried out. If you need to change the currency, do it before any pricing or condition records are applied.
  
  
  Reset pricing and change currency:
  
  If you must change the currency after pricing, you can:
  
  Delete or reset the pricing conditions (e.g., by using the "Reset Pricing" function).
  Change the currency.
  Re-execute pricing to update the conditions in the new currency.
  
  
  
  Check customer master data:
  
  The currency is often derived from the customer master (transaction VD02/VD03). If the currency is incorrect there, update it accordingly.
  
  
  Use consistent currency settings:
  
  Make sure that the sales area, customer, and material master data are consistent in terms of currency to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Consult configuration:
  
  In some cases, the currency determination logic in pricing procedure or sales document type settings may restrict currency changes. Review the configuration if necessary.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes SAP Notes provide specific fixes or explanations for currency-related issues in pricing.
  
  
  Pricing Procedure:
  
  The pricing procedure and condition records are currency-dependent. Changing currency without resetting pricing can cause inconsistencies.
  
  
  Currency fields:  
  
  Document Currency (VBAK-WAERK)  
  Condition Currency (KONV-KWERT, KONV-KCURR)
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The warning W/155 Sales price currency cannot be changed is triggered to prevent inconsistencies in pricing and billing. To fix it, avoid changing the currency after pricing or reset pricing before changing the currency. Always ensure currency consistency in master data and sales documents.
