  The purchase info record for the material and vendor combination is not maintained or incomplete.

  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Purchase Info Record:
  
  Transaction: ME13 (Display Purchase Info Record)  
  Verify if the purchase info record exists for the material and vendor combination.
  If missing, create it using ME11.
  
  
  
  Maintain Purchase Price:
  
  In the purchase info record, ensure that the purchase price is maintained.
  Check the validity dates and ensure the price is valid for the current date.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:

  Additional Notes:
  
  This error is common in scenarios involving automatic purchase order creation, outbound delivery processing, or integration with external systems where pricing data is mandatory.
  Always check the validity period of the purchase price and info record.
