• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSAM_SHMAE008 - No standard price found for UOM &1 of material &2 at plant &3 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSAM_SHMAE008 No standard price found for UOM &1 of material &2 at plant &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to perform a valuation or price determination for a material at a specific plant and unit of measure (UOM), but it cannot find a standard price maintained for that material in that plant for the given UOM.
  In other words, the material master record does not have a standard price set up for the specified unit of measure at the plant level, which is required for price determination in processes like goods movement, invoice verification, or material valuation.
  
  Common Scenarios Where This Error Occurs:
  
  When creating or posting a goods receipt or invoice for a material that is valuated at standard price.
  During material price determination in inventory management or costing.
  When the material master is incomplete or incorrectly maintained.
  When the unit of measure used in the transaction does not match the unit of measure for which the standard price is maintained.
  
  
  Cause Details:
  
  The Material Master (MM) record for the material at the specified plant does not have a standard price maintained.
  The Standard Price (S) is missing in the Accounting 1 view of the material master.
  The unit of measure used in the transaction (&1) does not correspond to the unit of measure for which the price is maintained.
  The material is valuated at standard price (Price Control = 'S'), but no price is maintained.
  The plant (&3) is not correctly maintained or the material is not extended to the plant.
  
  
  How to Check:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number (&2) and plant (&3).
  Navigate to Accounting 1 view.
  Check the Price Control field — it should be 'S' for standard price.
  Check the Standard Price field — it should have a value.
  Verify the Base Unit of Measure and ensure it matches the UOM (&1) used in the transaction.
  
  
  Solution / Resolution:
  
  
  Maintain Standard Price:
  
  Use transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Enter the material number and plant.
  Go to Accounting 1 view.
  Enter a valid Standard Price for the material.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure:
  
  Ensure that the UOM used in the transaction matches the base UOM or a UOM for which the price can be determined.
  If necessary, adjust the transaction to use the correct UOM or maintain conversion factors properly.
  
  
  
  Extend Material to Plant:
  
  If the material is not extended to the plant, use MM01 or MM02 to extend the material to the plant and maintain the necessary valuation data.
  
  
  
  Price Control Check:
  
  If the material should not be valuated at standard price, change the price control to 'V' (moving average price) if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Recalculate or Update Prices:
  
  If prices are maintained but still error occurs, run price update or valuation transactions like CK11N (Costing) or MR21 (Price Change) to update prices.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  This error is typical in companies using Standard Price valuation method.
  Always coordinate with the controlling and finance teams before changing standard prices.
  If the material is newly created, ensure all master data is complete before posting transactions.
  Check for any custom enhancements or user exits that might affect price determination.
