Help Document

Diagnosis

Material price determination has calculated a negative periodic unitprice for the last period in one or more currencies.

System Response

Since a negative price cannot be activated, price determination will not be posted.

Procedure

  1. Check in which period and currency the negative currency was generated. This is recognizable in that the price is negative after material settlement and the new price has a value of zero.
  2. For the category, check which business transactions may have caused this negative price.
    If the transactions are faulty, correct them (with reversals, for example)
    If you can not correct the transactions, post a debit to the material.
  3. Perform price determination again.
