  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC547: Purchasing price &1 is greater than sales price &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the purchasing price of a material or product is higher than the sales price defined in the system. Essentially, the system is warning or preventing a scenario where you are buying a product at a higher cost than the price at which you intend to sell it, which could lead to a loss.
  This check is typically part of pricing control or profitability analysis in SAP, especially in scenarios involving:
  
  Intercompany sales
  Third-party sales
  Pricing procedures with validation or substitution rules
  Profitability analysis (CO-PA) or costing controls
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the creation or change of a sales order or purchase order.
  When maintaining or updating pricing conditions.
  During pricing or cost validation in sales documents.
  In integration scenarios where purchasing and sales prices are compared.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Pricing Conditions:
  
  Check the purchasing price condition record (e.g., in MEK1/MEK2).
  Check the sales price condition record (e.g., in VK11/VK12).
  Ensure that the sales price is logically higher than the purchasing price.
  
  
  
  Adjust Prices:
  
  Increase the sales price to be greater than or equal to the purchasing price.
  Or decrease the purchasing price if possible.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure and Validations:
  
  Review any custom validations or substitutions in pricing procedures that enforce this check.
  If this check is too restrictive, you may need to adjust or deactivate the validation rule (consult with your SAP SD/MM or pricing team).
  
  
  
  Business Decision:
  
  Sometimes, selling below purchasing price is intentional (e.g., promotions, loss leaders).
  In such cases, you may need to override or bypass the check with proper authorization.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes or Support:
  
  If this error appears unexpectedly, check for relevant SAP Notes or patches.
  Sometimes, this error can be triggered by configuration inconsistencies.
