• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR131 - Fixed price exists for material &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WR131 - Fixed price exists for material &1:
  
  SAP Error Message: WR131 - Fixed price exists for material &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or change a purchase order or a related document for a material that already has a fixed price maintained in the system. The system prevents changes that would conflict with the fixed price condition.
  
  Fixed Price Condition: In SAP MM (Materials Management), a fixed price means the price for a material is locked and cannot be changed or overridden in purchasing documents.
  The system detects that a fixed price condition record exists for the material in the purchasing info record or condition records.
  Attempting to enter a different price or change the price manually in the document triggers this error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating or changing a Purchase Order (PO) for a material with a fixed price condition.
  When trying to manually enter or change the price in the PO item for a material that has a fixed price maintained.
  When the system tries to update the price but finds a fixed price condition record that restricts changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Condition Records:
  
  Go to transaction MEK3 (Display Conditions) or MEK2 (Change Conditions).
  Check if there is a fixed price condition (usually condition type PB00 or similar) maintained for the material/vendor.
  Verify the validity period and price.
  
  
  
  Use the Fixed Price:
  
  If a fixed price exists, you must use the price from the condition record.
  Do not try to manually override the price in the PO item.
  
  
  
  Remove or Change the Fixed Price Condition (if appropriate):
  
  If the fixed price is no longer valid or needs to be updated, change or delete the fixed price condition record.
  Use MEK2 to update or delete the fixed price condition.
  After updating, try creating or changing the PO again.
  
  
  
  Check Info Record Settings:
  
  Sometimes the fixed price is maintained in the purchasing info record.
  Use transaction ME11 or ME12 to check the info record for the material/vendor.
  If the price is fixed, you cannot override it in the PO.
  
  
  
  Consult Purchasing Policy:
  
  Fixed prices are often used to enforce purchasing policies.
  Confirm with your purchasing department if the fixed price should be overridden or updated.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Condition Type PB00 is commonly used for fixed prices in purchasing.
  Fixed price conditions ensure price consistency and prevent unauthorized price changes.
  This error helps maintain data integrity and compliance with negotiated prices.
  If you need to allow price changes, the fixed price condition must be removed or changed.
  Always coordinate with purchasing and master data teams before changing fixed price conditions.
