• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU125 - Material & & cannot be deleted -> sales price is activated ?

  The SAP error message WU125 indicates that a material cannot be deleted because a sales price is activated for that material. This typically occurs in the context of materials that are part of sales processes, where pricing information is crucial for sales transactions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the material in question has an active sales price in the system. SAP does not allow the deletion of materials that are linked to sales pricing to maintain data integrity and ensure that sales transactions can be processed correctly.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Sales Price Activation:
  
  Navigate to the material master data for the affected material.
  Check the sales view (usually under the Sales Organization data) to see if there are any active sales prices.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Sales Price:
  
  If you find that there is an active sales price, you will need to deactivate or delete the sales price.
  This can typically be done in the transaction code VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) for pricing conditions.
  Locate the relevant pricing condition record and either change its status or delete it.
  
  
  
  Check Related Documents:
  
  Ensure that there are no open sales orders, quotations, or contracts that reference the material. If there are, you may need to close or delete those documents first.
  
  
  
  Delete Material:
  
  Once the sales price is deactivated and there are no related documents, you can attempt to delete the material again using transaction code MM06 (Delete Material).
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: The material master contains all the information about a material that is required to manage it throughout its lifecycle.
