  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message WRF_APC548:
  
  SAP Error Message: WRF_APC548
  Text: Purchasing price &1 is greater than net/net purchase price &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the invoice verification or goods receipt process in SAP when the purchasing price entered or derived in the document is greater than the net/net purchase price maintained in the system.
  
  The net/net purchase price is typically the lowest price agreed upon or maintained in the purchasing info record or contract.
  SAP checks that the price on the invoice or goods receipt does not exceed this net/net price to avoid overpayments or pricing errors.
  If the entered price is higher, the system triggers this error to alert the user.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During invoice verification (transaction MIRO) or goods receipt (transaction MIGO) against a purchase order.
  When the price entered on the invoice or goods receipt line item is higher than the net/net price maintained in the purchasing info record or contract.
  This is a control mechanism to ensure price consistency and prevent overbilling.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Purchasing Info Record or Contract:
  
  Verify the net/net purchase price maintained in the purchasing info record (transaction ME13) or contract.
  Confirm if the price on the invoice or goods receipt should indeed be higher or if there is a data entry error.
  
  
  
  Verify the Price on the Invoice or Goods Receipt:
  
  Check the price entered in MIRO or MIGO.
  If the price is incorrect, correct it to match or be less than the net/net purchase price.
  
  
  
  If the Higher Price is Valid:
  
  If the vendor has legitimately increased the price, update the purchasing info record or contract with the new price.
  Alternatively, you can request a price change or a new purchase order with the updated price.
  
  
  
  Override or Bypass (if necessary and authorized):
  
  In some cases, the system configuration allows overriding this check.
  This requires authorization and should be done carefully to avoid financial discrepancies.
  The relevant customizing setting is in Materials Management (MM) ? Logistics Invoice Verification ? Incoming Invoice ? Set Tolerance Limits or price control settings.

  Notes:
  
  This error helps maintain price discipline and prevents overpayment.
  Always ensure that master data (info records, contracts) are up to date to avoid such errors.
  Communicate with purchasing and vendor management teams if price discrepancies occur.
