How to fix this error?

<DS:TRAN.OMWC>Set split valuation</>
Also, check the following:
1) Valuation category &v2& should be set as the global valuation
category.
2) Valuation category &v2& should be defined as the local valuation
category for valuation area &v1&.
3) The valuation type for in-house production should be defined for the
local valuation category &v2&. It must not be left blank. A segment for
in-house production is created for the material to be marked or
released. The accompanying valuation type should be entered in the
'In-house production' field for local valuation category &v2&.
4) The 'In-house production mandatory' indicator is set for local
valuation category &v2&.
When conditions 1) to 4) have been met, a material can be marked or
released in split valuation.
