• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC651 - Price on variant level is equal to price of generic material ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC651 – Price on variant level is equal to price of generic material
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC) when the system detects that the price maintained at the variant level is exactly the same as the price maintained for the generic (base) material. In pricing procedures involving configurable materials, the system expects that variant-specific pricing differs from the generic material price to reflect the variant's unique characteristics or additional costs.
  The message is triggered because:
  
  The variant material's condition records or pricing procedure results in a price that is identical to the generic material.
  This might indicate redundant pricing data or a configuration/pricing inconsistency.
  It can also happen if variant pricing is not maintained properly or if the pricing procedure does not differentiate between generic and variant levels.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WRF_APC651 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Pricing Conditions:
  
  Verify the condition records for both the generic material and the variant material.
