• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC629 - Purchasing price in local currency &1 differs from supplier price &2 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_APC629: Purchasing price in local currency &1 differs from supplier price &2
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs during invoice verification or purchase order processing when the purchasing price in the local currency (usually the price maintained in the purchase order or contract) differs from the supplier price (the price on the invoice or in the supplier's currency converted to local currency). The system detects a discrepancy between these two prices.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Exchange rate differences between the time the purchase order was created and the invoice verification.
  Manual changes in the purchase order price or invoice price.
  Differences in rounding or currency conversion.
  Price changes not updated in the purchase order or contract.
  Incorrect or outdated exchange rates in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Purchase Order and Invoice Prices:
  
  Verify the price maintained in the purchase order (PO) or contract.
  Check the price on the supplier invoice.
  Compare the prices in the supplier currency and the local currency.
  
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates:
  
  Verify the exchange rate used for currency conversion in both PO and invoice.
  Ensure the exchange rate is current and consistent.
  Update exchange rates if necessary (transaction OB08).
  
  
  
  Adjust Prices or Exchange Rates:
  
  If the supplier price is correct, update the purchase order price accordingly.
  If the purchase order price is correct, request the supplier to correct the invoice.
  Alternatively, adjust the invoice price manually if allowed.
  
  
  
  Use Price Tolerance Settings:
  
  Check the tolerance limits set in the system for price differences.
  Adjust tolerance limits if the difference is acceptable but currently blocked.
  Tolerance settings can be found in transaction OMWB or via IMG path:
  Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Incoming Invoice -> Set Tolerances for Invoice Verification
  
  
  
  Recalculate or Repost Invoice:
  
  After corrections, repost the invoice or reprocess the transaction.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to price differences and currency conversion issues.

  Configuration:
  
  Ensure that currency settings and price control settings in the material master and purchasing info records are consistent.
  Price control indicator in material master (MM02) affects how prices are handled.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRF_APC629 indicates a mismatch between the purchasing price in local currency and the supplier price. The root cause is usually exchange rate differences or price discrepancies. The solution involves verifying and aligning prices and exchange rates, adjusting tolerance limits if necessary, and ensuring consistent data entry.
