The pricing method "Calculate markup from existing sales price" was
used for this item, which means that the margin is calculated on the
basis of the existing sales and purchase prices. This method does not
allow you to change the sales price interactively. Furthermore, the
sales price displayed and certain other conditions are not updated when
you save, because the price fixing policy is blocking entries in these
fields.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

First, deselect the price fixing indicator in the sales data for
material &V1& in the current distribution chain.
Then calculate the new fixed price for the desired organizational
levels, changing the final price in the pricing table to the fixed
price already defined.
Save the price calculation as normal.
Finally, reselect the price fixing indicator in the master data for the
material.
