  The SAP error message CK522 ("Separate valuation for internal production not mandatory") typically occurs in the context of product costing and valuation in SAP. This message indicates that the system is configured in such a way that separate valuation for internal production is not required, but the system is trying to process it as if it were.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The error is often caused by the configuration settings in the controlling area or the valuation area.
