• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC002 - Specify either price catalog item or reference material, but not both ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC002 – Specify either price catalog item or reference material, but not both
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you are trying to maintain or create a condition record (usually in the context of pricing or variant configuration) and you have entered both a Price Catalog Item and a Reference Material simultaneously. The system expects you to specify either a price catalog item or a reference material, but not both at the same time.
  This is typically encountered in scenarios involving pricing conditions linked to variant configuration or pricing catalogs, where the system logic requires a clear and unambiguous reference to one source of pricing data.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Price Catalog Item: A specific item defined in a price catalog used for pricing purposes.
  Reference Material: A material number used as a reference for pricing or configuration.
  
  The system cannot process pricing conditions if both fields are filled because it cannot determine which source to prioritize.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the condition record or pricing data entry screen where the error occurs.
  Clear either the Price Catalog Item field or the Reference Material field, so that only one of these is filled.
  Save the record again.
  
  If you are unsure which one to keep:
  
  Consult your pricing or variant configuration team to understand which reference is appropriate for your business process.
  Usually, if you are using price catalogs, keep the Price Catalog Item.
  If pricing is based on a material reference, keep the Reference Material.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common in Variant Configuration Pricing and Pricing Catalog scenarios.
  It may appear during condition maintenance in transaction codes like VK11, VK12, or during configuration of pricing procedures.
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to Pricing Catalogs and Variant Configuration for more detailed guidance.
  Ensure that your pricing procedure and condition types are correctly configured to avoid conflicting entries.
