were entered in the selection screen. As a result, no organizational
level has been entered, for which prices are to be calculated.

System Response

The system cannot carry out price calculation.

Remove the indicator 'Exclude price calculation for selected
distribution chains' if you want to calculate prices for the selected

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV319 - 'Exclude distr. chain' indicator set, but no site/price list selected ?

  The SAP error message WV319, which states "Exclude distr. chain indicator set, but no site/price list selected," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution processes, particularly when dealing with pricing and distribution chains in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system is configured to exclude a distribution chain for pricing purposes, but there is no corresponding site or price list selected for the transaction. The "Exclude distr. chain" indicator is likely set in the pricing procedure or in the condition records, which means that the system expects a specific price list or site to be defined for the transaction, but it cannot find one.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to the pricing procedure configuration in SPRO (Transaction Code: SPRO).

  Review Condition Records:
  
  Check the condition records for the pricing elements involved in the transaction.

  Ensure that there are valid entries for the distribution chain and that the site/price list is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Select Site/Price List:
  
  When creating or processing the sales order, ensure that you have selected the appropriate site or price list that corresponds to the distribution chain.
  This can often be done in the sales order creation screen (VA01) or in the relevant transaction where the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the master data (Customer Master, Material Master) is correctly set up with the necessary distribution chain and pricing information.
  Ensure that the customer and material are assigned to the correct distribution chain.
