• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK426 - Valuation type not set for material & ?

  The SAP error message CK426, which states "Valuation type not set for material &," typically occurs in the context of material valuation in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that have multiple valuation types (e.g., in the case of split valuation). This error indicates that the system cannot find a valuation type assigned to the material for the specific transaction you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Valuation Type: The material in question does not have a valuation type assigned in the material master record.
  Split Valuation Not Configured: If the material is intended to use split valuation, the necessary configuration may not be complete.
  Incorrect Material Type: The material type may not support split valuation or may not be configured correctly.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are trying to execute may require a valuation type that is not set for the material.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Record:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Accounting" view and ensure that a valuation type is assigned to the material.
  If the material is intended to use split valuation, ensure that the valuation type is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Define Valuation Types:
  
  If you need to create or modify valuation types, you can do this in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Split Valuation > Define Valuation Types.
  
  
  
  Assign Valuation Type to Material:
  
  If the valuation type is missing, you can assign it to the material using transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
  Go to the "Accounting" view and add the appropriate valuation type.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the material type is configured to allow split valuation if that is your intention.
  Check the configuration settings for the material type in the same SPRO path mentioned above.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are executing is appropriate for the material and that it requires a valuation type.
