• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS106 - Enter a gross or net value ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS106 - Enter a gross or net value
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to post or enter data in a transaction (commonly in Financial Accounting or Controlling modules) where the system expects either a gross amount or a net amount to be entered, but neither has been provided. The system requires at least one of these values to calculate taxes, totals, or for proper document posting.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Entering line items in vendor/customer invoices or credit memos.
  Entering amounts in cost center accounting or internal orders.
  Posting in transactions where tax calculation depends on gross or net values.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Gross value: The total amount including taxes.
  Net value: The amount excluding taxes.
  
  The system needs one of these values to proceed with tax calculations and document validation. If both are missing, it cannot determine the correct amounts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter either a gross or a net amount in the relevant field(s) on the screen.
  Check the input fields for amounts and ensure that at least one of these values is filled.
  If you are entering tax amounts manually, verify that the gross or net amount is consistent with the tax values.
  If the system is configured for automatic tax calculation, entering the net amount is usually sufficient, and the system calculates the gross amount.
  If you are unsure which value to enter, consult your accounting or controlling guidelines or the SAP configuration for tax and pricing.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a standard validation message to ensure data integrity.
  It often appears in transactions like FB60 (Enter Vendor Invoice), FB70 (Enter Customer Invoice), or in CO (Controlling) postings.
  If you frequently encounter this message, check the configuration of tax codes and pricing procedures.
  Sometimes, this error can also appear if the currency or amount fields are incorrectly filled or left blank.
  Refer to SAP Note or documentation related to the specific transaction you are using for more detailed troubleshooting.
