• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /FMP/MP005 - Price type &1 does not allow manual changes ?

  The SAP error message /FMP/MP005 Price type &1 does not allow manual changes typically occurs in the context of pricing and conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with the Material Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD) modules. This error indicates that the price type specified (denoted by &1) is configured in such a way that it does not permit manual adjustments.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The price type in question has been set up in the system to disallow manual changes. This is often done to maintain data integrity and ensure that prices are consistent with predefined conditions.
  Condition Records: The condition records for the pricing type may have been defined in a way that they are only meant to be updated through specific processes (e.g., automatic pricing based on certain criteria).
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make manual changes to the price type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for pricing in the relevant module (MM or SD).
  Review the settings for the price type in question. You may need to adjust the configuration to allow manual changes if that is appropriate for your business process.
  This can typically be done in the SPRO transaction under the relevant pricing procedure settings.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records:
  
  Check the condition records associated with the price type. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no restrictions preventing manual changes.
  You can use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to review and modify condition records.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user attempting to make the changes has the necessary authorizations. This may involve checking roles and permissions assigned to the user in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11, VK12, VK13 (for condition records), and SPRO (for configuration).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to pricing issues or specific error messages that may provide additional context or solutions.
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the pricing behaves as expected and that the error does not reoccur.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to allow for manual changes to the specified price type.
