• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC038 - No price created for distribution chain &1 &2, material &3 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC038 No price created for distribution chain &1 &2, material &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC) and Pricing during the pricing procedure for configurable materials. Specifically, it indicates that the system could not find or create a valid price condition record for the given distribution chain and material combination.
  
  Distribution chain: Combination of sales organization (&1) and distribution channel (&2).
  Material: The configurable material (&3) for which the price is being determined.
  
  The root cause is that the pricing procedure or condition records do not contain a valid price for the material in the specified sales organization and distribution channel. This can happen if:
  
  No condition records exist for the material in the given sales org/distribution channel.
  The pricing procedure is not correctly maintained or assigned.
  The variant pricing procedure or pricing schema is incomplete or missing.
  The material master or sales data is incomplete or missing pricing-relevant data.
  The pricing condition tables or access sequences do not cover the distribution chain/material combination.
  
  
  Where does this error typically occur?
  
  During sales order creation for configurable materials.
  When the system tries to determine the price for a configurable material variant.
  In variant pricing procedures (e.g., in SAP Variant Configuration pricing).
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK13 to check if condition records exist for the material &3 for the sales organization &1 and distribution channel &2.
  If missing, create condition records using VK11 for the relevant pricing condition types.
  
  
  
  Verify Pricing Procedure:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales area (sales org + distribution channel + division).
  Use transaction V/08 to verify the pricing procedure.
  Ensure the pricing procedure includes the condition types relevant for variant pricing.
  
  
  
  Check Variant Pricing Procedure:
  
  In variant configuration, variant pricing procedures are assigned in SPRO under:
  Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Variant Configuration -> Pricing
  Verify that the variant pricing procedure is correctly assigned and maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Ensure the material master has the correct sales data maintained for the sales org and distribution channel.
  Use MM03 to check sales views.
  
  
  
  Check Access Sequences:
  
  Verify that the access sequences for the pricing condition types cover the distribution chain and material.
  Use V/07 to check access sequences.
  
  
  
  Debug / Trace Pricing:
  
  Use transaction PR00 or VA01 with pricing trace (F8) to analyze how the system searches for prices.
  This can help identify where the pricing determination fails.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is specific to variant configuration pricing where the system tries to price a configurable material but cannot find a valid price.
  Sometimes, the error can also occur if the pricing procedure is customized incorrectly or if the variant pricing procedure is not assigned to the sales area.
  Ensure that the pricing condition types used for variant pricing (e.g., PR00, K004, etc.) have valid condition records for the sales org and distribution channel.
  If variant pricing is used, check the configuration in SPRO under Variant Configuration -> Pricing.
