    Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message WRF_APC593, including its cause, solution, and related information, as well as guidance on checking prices for a generic material.


    SAP Error Message: WRF_APC593

    1. Cause:

    The error message WRF_APC593 typically occurs in the context of Product Costing or Pricing in SAP, especially when dealing with cost estimates or price determination for materials.

    • The message usually indicates that no valid price or cost could be found or determined for the material in question.
    • This can happen if:
      • The material master does not have a valid price maintained.
      • The price control indicator in the material master is not set correctly.
      • The relevant price condition records are missing or incomplete.
      • The costing variant or valuation variant is not properly configured.
      • The system cannot find a valid price for the generic material or the specific material variant.

    2. Solution:

    To resolve the WRF_APC593 error, follow these steps:

    • Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to transaction MM03 and verify the Accounting 1 and Costing 2 views.
      • Ensure that the Price Control Indicator (Standard Price 'S' or Moving Average Price 'V') is correctly maintained.
      • Verify that a valid Standard Price (STPRS) or Moving Average Price (VPRSV) is maintained.
    • Check Condition Records:

      • Use transaction VK13 to check if the relevant price condition records exist for the material.
      • If missing, create or update the condition records in VK11.
    • Check Costing Variant and Valuation Variant:

      • Verify the costing variant settings in transaction CK11N or CK40N.
      • Ensure that the valuation variant is correctly assigned and configured.
    • Check Price Determination Procedure:

      • Confirm that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document or costing scenario includes the necessary condition types.
    • Run Cost Estimate:

      • Try to run a cost estimate for the material using CK11N.
      • If the cost estimate fails, analyze the error messages and missing data.
    • Check Material Type and Status:

      • Ensure the material is active and not blocked for costing or sales.
    • Check for Generic Material Pricing:

      • If the error relates to a generic material (a material used as a template or placeholder), ensure that the generic material has valid pricing or cost data.
      • Sometimes, generic materials are not priced directly but inherit prices from variants or specific materials.
