• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8Z361 - Valuation type is defined to be set automatically -> No maintainance ?

  The SAP error message 8Z361 indicates that the valuation type is defined to be set automatically, and therefore, it cannot be maintained manually. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management and valuation in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that have a specific valuation type assigned to them.
  Cause:
  
  Automatic Valuation Type: The valuation type is configured in such a way that it is automatically determined based on the material master data or other configuration settings. This means that the system expects the valuation type to be derived from the system rather than being manually entered or maintained.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration in the material master or the valuation area may not allow for manual entry of the valuation type due to the settings in the valuation class or the accounting view.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Configuration:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the accounting view and ensure that the valuation type is set correctly.
  If the valuation type is set to be automatic, you may need to adjust the configuration to allow for manual entry if that is required.
  
  
  
  Review Valuation Class:
  
  Check the valuation class assigned to the material. The valuation class determines how the valuation type is derived.
  If necessary, modify the valuation class settings in the configuration (transaction code OBYC).
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you need to change the behavior of the valuation type, you may need to adjust the configuration in the following areas:
  
  Transaction OMWD: Check the settings for the automatic determination of valuation types.
  Transaction OMWB: Review the settings for the valuation area and ensure that they align with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the changes, consult the SAP documentation or your SAP support team for guidance on how to properly configure the valuation type settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, perform testing to ensure that the valuation type behaves as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have implemented.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that your team is trained on the material master and valuation type configuration to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message 8Z361 and ensure that your valuation types are configured correctly in SAP.
