  SAP Error Message: WS464 - No price change groups were maintained
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system expects price change groups to be maintained in the configuration, but none have been defined or maintained. Price change groups are used in SAP to control and group price changes for materials or services, especially in pricing procedures or condition techniques.
  Typically, this message appears in scenarios involving:
  
  Pricing procedures where price change groups are referenced.
  Condition records or pricing conditions that require price change groups.
  Sales and Distribution (SD) or Materials Management (MM) modules where price changes are managed.
  
  If no price change groups exist or have been maintained in the system, the system cannot proceed with pricing or related processes, hence the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WS464 error, you need to maintain the price change groups in the system. The steps generally involve:
  
  
  Maintain Price Change Groups:
  
  Go to transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to:
  Logistics - General > Material Master > Settings for Key Fields > Define Price Change Groups
  
  Alternatively, you can use transaction OMW1 (depending on SAP version and module).
  Create and maintain the required price change groups as per your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Assign Price Change Groups:
  
  After defining the price change groups, assign them to the relevant materials or pricing conditions.
  This can be done in the material master (MM02/MM01) under the appropriate views or in condition records.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Verify that the pricing procedure or condition technique is correctly configured to use the price change groups.
  Ensure that the condition types or access sequences referencing price change groups are properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  After maintaining the price change groups, retry the transaction or process that triggered the error.
