  Error Message
  WSTRN093: Define components before editing the purchasing prices.
  
  Cause
  This message typically occurs in the context of variant configuration or pricing in purchasing within SAP. The system requires that the components (e.g., materials, BOM components, or configurable characteristics) be defined or maintained before you can edit or change the purchasing prices.
  In other words, the system expects that the structure or components of the product or service are fully specified before allowing price changes. This ensures that pricing is consistent with the actual components or configuration of the product.
  Common scenarios where this happens:
  
  When working with configurable materials (variant configuration).
  When editing purchasing info records or conditions related to components.
  When the system expects a BOM (Bill of Materials) or components to be maintained before price adjustments.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error WSTRN093, follow these steps:
  
  
  Define or Maintain Components First:
  
  Ensure that all components related to the material or product are defined.
  For configurable materials, maintain the characteristics and values.
  For BOM-managed materials, ensure the BOM is created and valid.
  
  
  
  Check Variant Configuration:
  
  If variant configuration is involved, verify that the configuration profile and characteristics are properly maintained.
  Use transaction codes like CU50 (Change Configuration Profile) or CU41 (Change Characteristics).
  
  
  
  Maintain Purchasing Info Records Correctly:
  
  If editing purchasing prices via info records, ensure that the components or sub-items are defined in the info record.
  Use transaction ME11 or ME12 to maintain info records.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Conditions:
  
  Verify that pricing conditions are correctly set up for the components.
  Use transaction MEK1 or MEK2 to maintain conditions.
  
  
  
  Re-try Editing Prices:
  
  After components are defined and maintained, try editing the purchasing prices again.
