Even if these prerequisites have been met, you may still experience the following errors during multilevel price determination:
- The cumulated quantity of a material in the period is zero, which prevents an actual price from being calculated.
- The actual BOM contains a cycle that is not converged and therefore does not allow price determination.
- The price for the material is negative.
- The price calculated in multilevel price determination for a material exceeds the threshold you set.
- The sum of the multilevel price differences that would subsequently be debited to the material exceeds the threshold you set.
These errors can be divided into three categories:
- Error 1 is corrected automatically by the system. No action is required on the part of the user. The system calculates with an alternative price that is found through a strategy.
- Errors 2 and 3 can also be corrected through special strategies in order to enable price determination. When you maintain the parameters for multilevel price determination, you can specify the strategy that is to be used under Show Postprocessing Options.
- Errors 4 and 5 occur as a result of the error thresholds you set. These error thresholds must be set to enable the errors to be corrected automatically using strategies under Show Postprocessing Options.
