  Error Message
  WRF_APC301: Supplier currency unknown, price for material &1 is in local currency
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the Automatic Price Calculation (APC) process in SAP when the system tries to determine the price of a material from a supplier, but the supplier's currency is not maintained or known in the system. As a result, the system defaults to using the local currency for the price, which is not correct for the supplier's pricing conditions.
  In other words:
  
  The system expects a supplier currency to be defined for the vendor or purchasing info record.
  The currency field is either empty or not correctly maintained.
  The price is therefore interpreted in the local currency, which leads to inconsistencies or errors in pricing calculations.
  
  
  Where it typically occurs
  
  During procurement price determination.
  When running price calculations in the Logistics Invoice Verification or Purchasing module.
  In Automatic Price Calculation (APC) runs for vendor/material pricing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Maintain Supplier Currency:
  
  Go to the vendor master data (transaction XK02 or MK02).
  Check the purchasing data tab.
  Ensure that the currency field is correctly maintained for the vendor.
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Use transaction ME11/ME12/ME13 to check the purchasing info record for the material/vendor combination.
  Verify that the currency is maintained correctly in the info record.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction MEK1/MEK2/MEK3 to check pricing condition records.
  Ensure that the currency is correctly specified in the condition records.
  
  
  
  Currency Settings in Material Master:
  
  Although less common, verify if the material master has any currency-related settings that might affect pricing.
  
  
  
  Re-run the APC process:
  
  After correcting the currency data, re-run the Automatic Price Calculation to ensure the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes
  
  The local currency is usually the company code currency.
  Supplier currency must be consistent with the currency used in purchase orders and invoices.
  If multiple currencies are used in procurement, currency conversion settings should be verified in the system.
