• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB724 - The purchase price was changed from &1 to &2 ?

  The SAP error message WB724 indicates that there has been a change in the purchase price of a material or product, specifically from one value (&1) to another (&2). This message typically arises during the processing of purchase orders, goods receipts, or invoice verification in the Materials Management (MM) module of SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Price Change: The primary cause of this error is that the purchase price of the material has been changed in the system after the purchase order was created. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Updates in the vendor's pricing.
  Changes in the material master data.
  Manual adjustments made by users.
  
  
  
  Price Control: The material may be set to a specific price control (e.g., moving average price or standard price), and any changes to the price can trigger this message.
  
  
  Purchase Order Conditions: If the purchase order was created with specific conditions, and those conditions are no longer valid due to a price change, this error may occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Purchase Order: Check the purchase order to see if the price change is acceptable. If the new price is valid, you may need to update the purchase order to reflect the new price.
  
  
  Update Material Master: If the price change is legitimate and should be reflected in the material master, ensure that the material master data is updated accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust Purchase Order Conditions: If the purchase order conditions need to be adjusted, you can do so by:
  
  Going to the purchase order in the SAP system.
  Navigating to the conditions tab and updating the price as necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult with Procurement: If you are unsure about the price change, consult with the procurement department or the relevant stakeholders to confirm whether the new price should be accepted.
  
  
  Recreate Purchase Order: In some cases, if the purchase order is significantly affected by the price change, it may be easier to cancel the existing purchase order and create a new one with the updated price.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) or ME22N (Change Purchase Order) to view or modify purchase orders.
  Material Master Data: You can check the material master data using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) to see the current pricing and conditions.
  Price Control Types: Understand the difference between moving average price (V) and standard price (S) in the material master, as this can affect how price changes are handled.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on handling price changes and related error messages.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the WB724 error and ensure that your purchase orders reflect the correct pricing.
