  The SAP error message WMGW_SD_MATRIX015 indicates that a material cannot be assigned to itself as a pricing reference material. This typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in sales and distribution (SD) when you are trying to set up pricing for a material that is being referenced as its own pricing reference.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to set a material as its own pricing reference in the pricing condition records.
  The system does not allow a material to reference itself for pricing purposes, as it creates a circular reference that is logically inconsistent.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Pricing Condition Records:
  
  Go to the pricing condition records for the material in question.
  Ensure that the pricing reference material is set to a different material rather than the material itself.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Reference:
  
  If you need to use a pricing reference, select a valid material that is not the same as the material you are working with.
  Update the pricing condition records accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type to ensure that it is set up correctly and does not inadvertently cause this issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more details on pricing conditions and how to set them up correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the pricing conditions to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
