  Error Message
  WSTRN092: Generic article &1 has no purchasing prices
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Retail (usually in the Merchandise Management or Retail Pricing context) when the system tries to process or use a generic article (a type of article used for grouping or representing a set of articles) but cannot find any purchasing prices assigned to it.
  
  Generic articles are often used to represent a group of articles or a category.
  The system expects that the generic article should have purchasing prices defined (e.g., for cost calculations, price determination, or procurement processes).
  If no purchasing prices exist for the generic article, the system cannot proceed with price-related operations, triggering this error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During price determination or cost calculation processes.
  When creating or updating purchasing info records or conditions related to generic articles.
  In merchandise management processes where generic articles are involved but lack purchasing price data.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Purchasing Prices for the Generic Article:
  
  Verify if purchasing prices are maintained for the generic article in question.
  Use transaction codes like MEK1 (Create Conditions), MEK2 (Change Conditions), or relevant Retail pricing transactions to check or maintain purchasing prices.
  
  
  
  Maintain Purchasing Prices:
  
  If no purchasing prices exist, create the necessary purchasing price conditions for the generic article.
  Ensure that the conditions are valid for the relevant time period and purchasing organization.
  
  
  
  Review Article Master Data:
  
  Confirm that the generic article is correctly set up in the article master.
  Check if the article is correctly flagged as generic and linked to the appropriate purchasing info.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records and Pricing Procedures:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure includes the condition types relevant for purchasing prices.
  Verify that the condition records are correctly maintained and active.
  
  
  
  Consult Retail Pricing and Purchasing Teams:
  
  Sometimes, generic articles are not intended to have purchasing prices directly.
  In such cases, review the business process to confirm if the generic article should be used in pricing or if the error indicates a configuration or master data issue.
