This error indicates that there is an attempt to change the purchase price of an article (material) for which the system cannot find a valid supply source. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Supply Source: The primary reason for this error is that the material does not have a valid supply source defined in the system. This could mean that there are no valid vendors or purchasing info records associated with the material.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master may not be set up correctly, or the relevant purchasing views may be incomplete.
  Purchasing Info Records: There may be no purchasing info records for the material and vendor combination.
  Price Change Restrictions: The system may have restrictions in place that prevent price changes under certain conditions, especially if the supply source is not defined.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Supply Source:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the purchasing view to ensure that a valid vendor is assigned.

  Create or Update Purchasing Info Records:
  
  If no purchasing info record exists, create one using transaction code ME11.

  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material master data is complete and accurate, particularly the purchasing views.
  Check if the material is marked as "blocked" or if there are any other restrictions.
  
  
  
  Check for Price Change Permissions:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the system to see if there are any specific rules or authorizations that restrict price changes for certain materials or under certain conditions.
