  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTP044 – "Delete the ruling price and reactivate the standard price (&1)"
  
  Cause of the Error
  This error occurs in SAP Pricing when you try to change or reactivate a standard price for a material or condition record, but there is already an active ruling price (a special or overriding price) defined for the same condition type or pricing condition. The system prevents reactivation or changes to the standard price because the ruling price takes precedence in pricing determination.
  In other words, the system enforces that if a ruling price exists and is active, the standard price cannot be reactivated or changed until the ruling price is deleted or deactivated.
  
  Explanation
  
  Standard Price: The default or base price used in pricing.
  Ruling Price: A special price that overrides the standard price under certain conditions (e.g., special agreements, promotions).
  When a ruling price is active, it "rules" over the standard price.
  Attempting to reactivate or change the standard price while the ruling price is active causes this error.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Delete or deactivate the ruling price:
  
  Go to the condition records for the relevant condition type.
  Find the ruling price condition record that is currently active.
  Delete or deactivate this ruling price record.
  
  
  
  Reactivate or change the standard price:
  
  After the ruling price is removed, you can now reactivate or modify the standard price condition record.
  
  
  
  Recreate the ruling price if needed:
  
  If the ruling price is still required, recreate or activate it after the standard price changes are done.
  
  
  
  
  How to Perform These Steps in SAP
  
  Use transaction VK11 / VK12 / VK13 (Create / Change / Display Condition Records).
  Select the relevant condition type (e.g., PR00 for standard price).
  Check the validity dates and status of the ruling price condition records.
  Delete or set the ruling price condition record to inactive.
  Then, reactivate or change the standard price condition record.
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This message is part of SAP's pricing control to avoid conflicts between multiple price conditions.
  Always check the pricing procedure and condition records to understand which prices are active and their validity periods.
  If you are unsure which condition record is the ruling price, use transaction VK13 to display all condition records for the material and condition type.
  Sometimes, the ruling price is set for a specific customer/material combination or validity period, so check carefully.
