• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW696 - Price plan &1: material &2 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_PPW696 Price plan &1: material &2 does not exist
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or reference a price plan for a specific material, but the price plan does not exist in the system for that material. Essentially, the system expects a price plan record for the given material (material number &2) under the price plan &1, but it cannot find it.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Pricing procedures or price planning in Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM).
  When a price plan is assigned or referenced in a transaction or master data, but the corresponding price plan entry for the material is missing.
  During pricing determination, condition records, or when using price planning tools.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The price plan &1 has not been created or maintained for the material &2.
  The material number &2 is incorrect or does not exist in the price plan.
  Data inconsistencies or incomplete master data setup.
  Transport or system copy issues where price plan data was not moved correctly.
  Custom developments or user exits referencing non-existing price plans.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check Price Plan Existence:
  
  Use transaction CKM3 (Display Price Planning) or CKM1 (Create Price Plan) to verify if the price plan &1 exists for material &2.
  If it does not exist, create the price plan for the material.
  
  
  
  Create or Maintain Price Plan:
  
  Use transaction CKM1 to create a new price plan for the material.
  Enter the price plan number &1 and material number &2, then maintain the necessary price data.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master:
  
  Check if the material &2 exists in the system (MM03).
  Ensure the material is active and valid for the relevant plant or sales organization.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing / Pricing Procedure:
  
  Review pricing procedures or any custom logic that references the price plan.
  Ensure that the price plan &1 is correctly assigned and maintained.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify missing price plan entries.
  If the system was recently copied or data transported, verify that price plan data was included.
  
  
  
  Debug / Analyze:
  
  If the error occurs during a specific transaction, debug or analyze the pricing determination to see why the system expects the price plan.
  Check user exits or enhancements that might be referencing the price plan.
