  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC089: Enter a currency for basic purchase price for material &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to maintain or post data related to the basic purchase price of a material, but the currency field for the basic purchase price is missing or not entered. The system requires a currency to correctly process and value the purchase price of the material.
  In other words, the system expects a currency code (e.g., USD, EUR) to be specified along with the basic purchase price, but it is either blank or invalid.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During material master data maintenance (e.g., transaction MM02 or MM01) when entering purchasing data.
  When updating or creating purchase info records or conditions related to the material's purchase price.
  During invoice verification or goods receipt if the system tries to validate the purchase price without a currency.
  In processes involving Automatic Price Control (APC) or valuation where the basic purchase price is mandatory.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Currency:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction MM02).
  Navigate to the Purchasing view.
  Ensure that the Basic Purchase Price is entered along with a valid Currency.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify that the currency field is not suppressed or hidden in the material master views.
  Ensure that the currency is maintained in the relevant purchasing info records or conditions.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  If the error occurs during a process like invoice verification, check the purchase order or info record for missing currency data.
  Correct the currency in the source document.
  
  
  
  Customizing:
  
  If this error appears unexpectedly, check if any user-exits or BAdIs related to price control or material master data are enforcing currency entry.
  Review APC (Automatic Price Control) settings if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The basic purchase price is used for valuation and price control in procurement and inventory management.
  Currency is mandatory because prices without currency cannot be converted or compared.
  This error is a validation message to ensure data integrity.
  The message text uses &1 as a placeholder for the material number, so the actual message will show the material number causing the issue.
