How To Fix WV257 - No price calculations possible for the plans and distr. chains selected

WV257 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WV - Messages about Sales Price Calculation

• Message number: 257

• Message text: No price calculations possible for the plans and distr. chains selected

What causes this issue?

No sales prices can be calculated for the plants selected for the
<GL:distribution_chain>distribution chains</> selected. This has one of
two reasons: either the plants do not sell via the distribution chains
selected or the distribution chain control parameters in Customizing do
not allow sales prices to be calculated at plant level for the
distribution chains.

System Response

No sales prices can be calculated for the plants selected for the
distribution chains selected.

How to fix this error?

Check if you really want to calculate prices at plant level. If not,
remove the plants entered.
If you want to create plant-specific sales prices, check in the plant
master which distribution chains are assigned to the plants. Then check
the Customizing settings for these distribution chains
(<DS:SIMG.W_OE_EG_WL_0101>Distribution chain control</>).
If you only enter plants on the selection screen of sales price
calculations, the system includes all distribution chains assigned to
the plants for which sales prices can be maintained at plant level.
