  Error Message
  WRF_APC569: Enter currency for purchasing price of the item
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the system requires a currency to be specified for the purchasing price of a material/item, but the currency field is either missing or not maintained during the data entry or transaction process.
  In SAP, when you enter purchasing prices (e.g., in info records, purchase orders, or material master purchasing views), the system needs to know the currency in which the price is specified. If the currency is not entered or the system cannot determine it from the context, this error is triggered.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  Missing currency in the purchasing info record or purchase order item.
  Currency not maintained in the material master purchasing view.
  Currency field left blank during manual entry.
  Currency determination failed due to incomplete configuration or master data.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the currency for the purchasing price is correctly entered or maintained. Here are the steps:
  
  
  Check the Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Go to transaction ME11/ME12/ME13 (Create/Change/Display Purchasing Info Record).
  Verify that the purchasing price and the currency fields are filled correctly.
  If missing, enter the appropriate currency (e.g., USD, EUR).
  
  
  
  Check the Purchase Order:
  
  In transaction ME21N/ME22N, verify the currency at the header level and item level.
  Ensure the currency is maintained and consistent with the purchasing price.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Use transaction MM02 to check the material master.
  Go to the Purchasing view and verify if the currency is maintained or if the system can determine it from the info record or vendor master.
  
  
  
  Vendor Master Data:
  
  Sometimes the currency is derived from the vendor master.
  Check vendor master data in transaction XK02 or MK02 to ensure the currency is maintained.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check:
  
  If the currency is supposed to be defaulted automatically, check the configuration in IMG under:
  
  Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Price Determination Process.
  Ensure currency determination settings are correct.
  
  
  
  
  
  Re-enter or Correct the Data:
  
  After ensuring the currency is maintained in the relevant master data or documents, re-enter or correct the purchasing price data.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  The currency field is critical for price calculations, valuation, and accounting postings.
  SAP uses the currency to convert prices into company code currency or controlling area currency as needed.
  If multiple currencies are used in your organization, always ensure the correct currency is maintained to avoid inconsistencies.
  This error is a validation message to prevent incomplete or incorrect pricing data entry.
