• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE236 - Gross Purchase Price will not be calculated for Order Type & ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE236: Gross Purchase Price will not be calculated for Order Type &
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs because the system is configured not to calculate the Gross Purchase Price for the specific Order Type used in the transaction. The order type in question does not have the necessary settings or parameters enabled to trigger the automatic calculation of the gross purchase price.
  In SAP, the gross purchase price calculation depends on the configuration of the order type in the Materials Management (MM) or Plant Maintenance (PM) module, particularly in the purchasing or order management settings. If the order type is set up as a type that does not require or support gross price calculation (e.g., service orders, internal orders, or certain custom order types), the system will issue this message.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the IMG path for order type configuration relevant to your module:
  
  For Purchasing: SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define Document Types
  For Plant Maintenance: SPRO -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Order Types
  
  
  Verify if the order type is set to calculate gross purchase price or if it is excluded.
  
  
  
  Adjust Settings if Needed:
  
  If the business process requires the gross purchase price to be calculated for this order type, adjust the configuration to enable price calculation.
  This might involve:
  
  Assigning the correct pricing procedure.
  Ensuring that the order type is linked to a purchasing document type that supports price calculation.
  Checking if the relevant pricing conditions and calculation schema are maintained.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure and Conditions:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the order type includes the necessary condition types for gross price calculation.
  Check if the condition records are maintained properly.
  
  
  
  Consult Business Process:
  
  Sometimes, the message is informational and indicates that for this order type, gross purchase price calculation is intentionally not done.
  Confirm with business users if this behavior is expected.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is informational and does not necessarily indicate an error that stops processing.
  It is often seen in scenarios where order types are used for internal purposes or non-standard purchasing processes.
  The message helps users understand why the gross purchase price is missing or not calculated.
  If you want to suppress this message, you may need to adjust message control or user exit/custom code if applicable.
