  The SAP error message CK035 indicates that a specific plant is not assigned to a valuation area. This error typically arises in the context of material valuation and costing in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that are subject to different valuation methods or when performing cost calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Assignment: The plant in question has not been assigned to a valuation area in the system. Valuation areas are typically defined at the company code level or plant level, and if a plant is not linked to a valuation area, the system cannot perform necessary calculations.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings of the material master or the controlling area that prevent the plant from being recognized as part of a valuation area.
