• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC665 - Contradicting calculation results: Purch. price net/net (material&1&2&3) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC665 Contradicting calculation results: Purch. price net/net (material&1&2&3)
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the context of Product Costing or Material Valuation when there is a discrepancy or contradiction in the purchase price calculation for a material. Specifically, the system detects conflicting net purchase price values for the same material, which can arise due to:
  
  Inconsistent or conflicting data in the info records, purchase orders, or conditions related to the material's purchase price.
  Multiple price determinations for the same material that do not reconcile (e.g., different net prices from different sources or calculation steps).
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration in the price determination procedure or condition technique.
  Data inconsistencies in the material master or vendor master records.
  Issues in the APC (Activity Price Calculation) or cost estimate where purchase prices are fetched or calculated.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  The message indicates that during the calculation of the net purchase price for a material, the system found contradictory results.
  The notation (material&1&2&3) refers to the material number and possibly related keys or sequence numbers involved in the calculation.
  This contradiction prevents the system from determining a unique, consistent purchase price for costing or valuation.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Purchase Info Records:
  
  Verify the purchase info records for the material and vendor.
  Ensure that the net purchase price is consistent and correctly maintained.
  Look for multiple conflicting conditions or overlapping validity periods.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction MEK3 or MEK2 to check condition records for the material.
  Confirm that the pricing conditions do not conflict or overlap in a way that causes ambiguity.
  
  
  
  Analyze Purchase Orders:
  
  Check if there are purchase orders with different net prices for the same material and vendor combination.
  Resolve any discrepancies or update the purchase order pricing if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify the valuation data in the material master (transaction MM03).
  Ensure that the valuation class and price control are correctly set.
  
  
  
  Review Costing Setup:
  
  In the costing variant and price determination procedure, ensure that the correct price source is selected.
  Check if the system is trying to fetch prices from multiple conflicting sources.
  
  
  
  Run Price Determination Trace:
  
  Use transaction CKM3 or CK11N to analyze the costing run and see where the contradictory prices come from.
  Use the trace to identify the exact source of the conflicting prices.
  
  
  
  Check APC Settings:
  
  If APC (Activity Price Calculation) is involved, verify the settings and ensure that the purchase price is correctly integrated.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to message WRF_APC665 for any known bugs or patches.
