  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW835 Material &1 (&2), &3: Price increase in proposed value
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message occurs during price determination or price update processes (often in procurement or inventory valuation scenarios) when the system detects that the proposed price for a material is higher than the current or expected price. The message is a warning or error indicating a price increase for the specified material.
  
  &1 = Material number  
  &2 = Plant  
  &3 = The price or price type causing the issue (e.g., proposed price)
  
  The system is alerting you that the new price you are trying to post or use is higher than the previous price or the allowed threshold.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The proposed price entered manually or via an interface is higher than the last price or standard price.
  Price control settings in material master (e.g., moving average price or standard price) restrict price increases without additional checks.
  Price update rules or tolerance limits configured in the system are exceeded.
  Incorrect or unexpected price data coming from external systems or vendors.
  Custom validations or user-exits that check price changes and raise this message.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check the Price Data:
  
  Verify the proposed price for the material in the transaction or interface.
  Compare it with the current price in the material master (MM03) or the last purchase price.
  
  
  
  Review Price Control Settings:
  
  Check the price control indicator in the material master (MM02 ? Accounting 1 tab).
  
  S = Standard price (price changes affect inventory valuation)
  V = Moving average price (price changes update the average price)
  
  
  Understand how price changes are handled for this material.
  
  
  
  Check Tolerance Limits:
  
  In customizing (SPRO), check if there are tolerance limits set for price increases in purchasing or inventory valuation.
  Adjust tolerance limits if appropriate or investigate why the price increase is beyond limits.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Confirm Price:
  
  If the price increase is valid, confirm or approve the price change.
  If the price is incorrect, correct the proposed price.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If this message is raised by a user-exit or BAdI, review the custom logic to understand the validation.
  Adjust the logic or handle exceptions as needed.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction / Process Correctly:
  
  Ensure you are using the correct transaction or process for price updates (e.g., MR21 for price changes).
  Follow the standard SAP process for price changes to avoid inconsistencies.
