• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/CU013 - No moving average price exists ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/CU013 No moving average price exists typically occurs in the context of inventory management and material valuation. This error indicates that the system cannot find a moving average price for a material that is being processed, which is essential for various transactions, such as goods movements, inventory valuation, or when creating purchase orders.
  Causes:
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The moving average price may not be set up in the material master record. This can happen if the material has not been purchased or if it has not been involved in any transactions that would establish a moving average price.
  
  
  Material Type Configuration: The material type may not be configured to allow for moving average pricing. Certain material types may not support this pricing method.
  
  
  Valuation Class Issues: The valuation class assigned to the material may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in determining the moving average price.
  
  
  Transaction Context: The error may occur in specific transactions where the moving average price is required, but the material has not been properly initialized in the system.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master: 
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the accounting view. Ensure that the moving average price is populated. If it is not, you may need to create a purchase order or a goods receipt to establish a moving average price.
  
  
  
  Create a Purchase Order: If the material has never been purchased, create a purchase order for the material. Once the goods receipt is posted, the moving average price will be calculated.
  
  
  Review Material Type Configuration: Ensure that the material type is configured to allow moving average pricing. This can be checked in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  
  
  Check Valuation Class: Verify that the valuation class assigned to the material is correct and that it is set up to allow for moving average pricing.
  
  
  Update Material Data: If the material has been recently created or modified, ensure that all necessary data has been updated and saved correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
