• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2B325 - Purchase price not expected for free-of-charge item &1 ?

  The SAP error message WB2B325, which states "Purchase price not expected for free-of-charge item &1," typically occurs in the context of procurement processes, particularly when dealing with free-of-charge items in a purchase order or a related document.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system encounters a free-of-charge item (an item that is not supposed to have a purchase price associated with it) but finds that a purchase price has been entered or is expected. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Incorrect Item Master Data: The item in question may be incorrectly set up in the material master or vendor master, indicating that it should have a purchase price.
  Purchase Order Configuration: The purchase order may have been configured incorrectly, leading to the expectation of a price for an item that is meant to be free of charge.
  Pricing Conditions: There may be pricing conditions set up in the system that are not aligned with the free-of-charge nature of the item.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Item Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the item in question and verify that it is correctly marked as a free-of-charge item. Ensure that the relevant fields (like pricing) are set appropriately.
  
  
  
  Review Purchase Order:
  
  Open the purchase order where the error occurred and check the line item for the free-of-charge item. Ensure that the purchase price field is either blank or set to zero.
  If a price is entered, remove it or set it to zero.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Conditions:
  
  Review the pricing conditions associated with the purchase order. Ensure that there are no conditions that would require a price for the free-of-charge item.
  If necessary, adjust the pricing procedure to exclude free-of-charge items from requiring a purchase price.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for further guidance on handling free-of-charge items.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the purchase order process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Material Master: Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master and check the relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
