• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC631 - Also check the purchasing price in local currency ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC631 – "Also check the purchasing price in local currency"
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP ERP Materials Management (MM) when there is a discrepancy or inconsistency in the purchasing price maintained in the local currency. The system detects that the purchasing price in the local currency either:
  
  Is missing,
  Is zero,
  Or does not match the expected or calculated value based on exchange rates or price conditions.
  
  This can happen during:
  
  Purchase order creation or change,
  Material master data maintenance,
  Price determination in procurement processes.
  
  
  Explanation:
  SAP requires the purchasing price to be maintained correctly in the local currency for accurate valuation, price control, and reporting. If the purchasing price in the local currency is not consistent with the price in the document currency or the exchange rate, the system issues this warning or error to prompt the user to verify and correct the price.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Purchasing Price in Local Currency:
  
  Go to the purchase order or material master record.
  Verify the purchasing price in the document currency and the local currency.
  Ensure that the local currency price is correctly calculated based on the exchange rate.
  
  
  
  Verify Exchange Rates:
  
  Check the exchange rate maintained in SAP (transaction OB08).
  Ensure the exchange rate is current and correctly applied.
  
  
  
  Update or Correct the Price:
  
  If the local currency price is missing or incorrect, update it manually or adjust the exchange rate so that the system calculates the correct local currency price.
  In some cases, re-entering the price or refreshing the price conditions can resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Check Price Determination Procedure:
  
  Review the pricing procedure and condition records to ensure that the correct prices and currencies are maintained.
  
  
  
  Recalculate or Repost Prices:
  
  If the issue is related to material valuation, consider running price recalculation or valuation runs.
