• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE375 - Split valuation is not allowed for "empties" products ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE375 indicates that there is an issue with split valuation for "empties" products. This error typically arises in the context of inventory management and valuation in SAP, particularly when dealing with products that are classified as "empties" (such as returnable packaging or containers).
  Cause:
  
  
  Split Valuation Configuration: The error occurs because the system does not allow split valuation for products that are categorized as "empties." Split valuation is a method that allows different valuations for the same material based on various criteria (e.g., origin, quality, etc.). However, for certain materials like empties, this is not permitted.
  
  
  Material Master Settings: The material master record for the product in question may be set up in a way that conflicts with the split valuation settings. If the material is defined as a "returnable packaging" or similar, it may not support split valuation.
  
  
  Valuation Type: The valuation type assigned to the material may not be compatible with the split valuation settings in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings: Review the material master record for the product that is causing the error. Ensure that the valuation type and other settings are correctly configured. If the product is indeed an "empty," it may need to be set up without split valuation.
  
  
  Adjust Split Valuation Settings: If split valuation is not necessary for the product, consider adjusting the valuation settings to disable split valuation for that specific material.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Configuration Team: If you are unsure about the settings or how to change them, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in materials management. They can provide guidance on how to properly configure the material master and valuation settings.
  
  
  Review Business Processes: Ensure that the business processes involving the handling of "empties" are aligned with the system's capabilities. If split valuation is required for other materials, consider how to manage those processes without impacting the handling of empties.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on split valuation and material master configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) to review and modify material master records.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling empties and split valuation.
  
  By addressing the configuration and ensuring that the material master settings align with the business requirements, you should be able to resolve the error CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE375.
