    SAP Error Message: WY099

    Message Text:
    Change supplier hierarchy if changing rebate or price relevance


    Cause

    This message appears when you attempt to change the rebate or price relevance indicator for a supplier in the supplier hierarchy, but the system detects that the supplier hierarchy is already maintained or used in a way that requires consistency.

    In SAP, the supplier hierarchy is used to determine pricing and rebate conditions across related suppliers. If you change the rebate or price relevance flag for a supplier, it can affect the entire supplier hierarchy and pricing calculations.

    The system requires you to explicitly change the supplier hierarchy if you want to modify rebate or price relevance settings to ensure data consistency and correct pricing behavior.


    Explanation

    • Supplier Hierarchy: A structure that groups suppliers for pricing and rebate determination.
    • Rebate or Price Relevance: Flags that indicate whether a supplier is relevant for rebate agreements or pricing conditions.
    • Changing these flags affects how the system calculates prices and rebates for purchasing documents.
    • If the supplier hierarchy is already defined and used, changing these flags without adjusting the hierarchy can lead to inconsistent or incorrect pricing.

    Solution

    1. Review the Supplier Hierarchy:

      • Check the current supplier hierarchy setup for the supplier in question.
      • Use transaction codes like ME33K (Display Contract) or ME32K (Change Contract) to review conditions.
      • Use ME1M or ME1L to check purchasing info records and pricing conditions.
    2. Change the Supplier Hierarchy:

      • If you need to change rebate or price relevance, you must also update the supplier hierarchy accordingly.
      • Use transaction ME11 or ME12 to maintain purchasing info records.
      • Use transaction MEK1 or MEK2 to maintain conditions.
      • Adjust the supplier hierarchy in the relevant customizing or master data to reflect the new rebate or price relevance.
    3. Coordinate Changes:

      • Ensure that changes to rebate or price relevance are coordinated with the purchasing and pricing teams.
      • Verify that all related contracts, info records, and conditions are consistent with the new settings.
    4. Test Changes:

      • After making changes, test purchasing documents to ensure pricing and rebate calculations work as expected.
