  Cause
  This error occurs during the material price revaluation process in SAP (usually in the context of inventory revaluation or price changes). The system is trying to perform a revaluation for a material in a specific plant and material group, but the revaluation does not affect the margins (i.e., the difference between the old and new price is zero or negative in a way that the system does not allow).
  More specifically:
  
  The material price revaluation is set up to only allow changes that affect the profit margins.
  The system detects that the revaluation would not impact the margins (e.g., the new price is equal to or less than the old price in a scenario where margin-affecting revaluation is mandatory).
  This is often controlled by configuration settings or business rules that
