Price control in material master

[former_member678982]

Hi all,

Hope doing good!!

When going to maintain price in material master, it shows the price is already maintained. In MBEW Table, the price control is V. img-20200703-wa0005.jpg. But in material master it is blank..

What could be the reason??

MBEW has as key fields MANDT (client, let's forget about this one for now), MATNR (material number), BWKEY (valuation area, in your case it is most likely the same as plant) and BWTAR (valuation type).

If we assume that you have selected the correct material number and the correct valuation area (if you are not sure about these two - check again), there is this field valuation type, which is quite important for materials managed with split valuation.

When you have split valuation, within the same valuation area you will have several additional records in MBEW. The first one is with valuation type blank, you can think of it as the header. It is with price control V, even if for some valuation types you have selected price control S.

Then you have entries for each valuation type - some with V, others with S price control, depends on what you have decided when you created the views.

Hi Veselina,

Thanks for your response!!

But may I know why it's not allowing to do any changes in material master record, so also the MAP field is not showing despite the field enabled while creating views.

saplmp I have no access to a S/4HANA system at the moment, find out what is the exact error message (message class and number).

Use this information (the message class and number) to search for notes which are relevant for your version in the support portal.

Based on a partial search for acdoca_m_extract I can see that there are quite a few notes on the subject, most of them are with code corrections.

If you have performed manual modifications of posting periods (I saw another question by you about modifying MARV in debug mode), I am not sure that any of these code corrections could solve the problem without an additional assistance of an expert with access to your system.

Do you encounter this message in MM01/02/03 or this is from a different transaction?

I ask, because you did not mention anything about encountering errors when you create master data in your original post.

Yes it's related to material master..No it's nowhere related to posting periods. That is a different issue.

saplmp related to material master does not necessarily mean that it occurs in MM0* transaction or that it has anything to do with master data maintenance.

The message points to problems with material ledger and there is a period in the error message. Even if it does occur in MM0*, the root cause is not with the master data, but with more transactional data.

If this is C+393, for example (I can only guess, because you did not provide the error message) - the system checks if there is a record in ACDOCA_M_EXTRACT with non zero quantity or value that has newer period than the period in CKMLPP for the specified cost estimate number.

Does this error really occur in MM01? It should not occur if you create new materials without referencing existing ones, by the way, did you already try this?

And what was the outcome of you checking for the exact error message in the support portal? You did not provide information on this.

saplmp from your screenshot is seems that you have to enter some mandatory values to continue with the rest of the data.

As to the field being enabled - are you really sure that it is really available for input?

Have you modified the settings after you created a few materials of this type?

I have no idea how your material type is configured, but if you do not see some fields when you expect them to be visible - you first start by checking the field reference from customizing of the material type, industry, plant, you also have field references per transaction activity, like MM01, MM02, MM03...

If you are using non-standard material type and especially if you have modified any screen references- start your investigation from a test case that actually works and change a single thing at a time.

Edit: needless to say (I hope), but just in case.. do not modify the field references delivered by SAP.
