• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW857 - No materials are price-only materials ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_PPW857: No materials are price-only materials
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system expects to find materials classified as price-only materials (materials that do not have stock or quantity management but only a price, often used in pricing conditions or service items), but none are found in the relevant context.
  Typically, this happens in scenarios such as:
  
  Pricing procedures or condition records expecting price-only materials but the materials involved are not flagged as such.
  When processing documents (e.g., Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, or Billing documents) that require at least one price-only material but none are present.
  During integration with external pricing or billing systems where price-only materials are mandatory for certain operations.
  
  
  Explanation:
  Price-only materials in SAP are materials that are used solely for pricing purposes and do not have inventory management or stock quantities. They are often used for services, freight, or other non-stock items.
  If the system or a custom program expects price-only materials but finds none, it raises this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the materials involved are correctly flagged as price-only materials.
  In the material master (transaction MM03), check the Basic Data and Sales: Sales Org. Data views.
  Ensure the material type is appropriate (e.g., DIEN for services) and that the material is set up as price-only (no stock management).
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:
  
  Confirm that the pricing procedure or condition records are correctly set up to handle price-only materials.
  If the process requires price-only materials, ensure that such materials are included in the document.
  
  
  
  Document Line Items:
  
  Check the document (e.g., sales order, purchase order) line items to ensure that at least one price-only material is included if required.
  If the process logic requires price-only materials, add them accordingly.
  
  
  
  Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If this error arises from custom developments or user exits, review the code to ensure it correctly identifies price-only materials.
  Adjust the logic if necessary to handle cases where no price-only materials are present or to include them properly.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this error or provide patches/fixes.
