• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK030 - FIFO valuation is active; the valuation level is not company code ?

  The SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK030 indicates that there is a conflict between the FIFO (First In, First Out) valuation method and the valuation level set in your system. Specifically, the error suggests that FIFO valuation is active, but the valuation level is not set to the company code level, which is required for FIFO valuation to function correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Level Configuration: The valuation level in your SAP system is set to a level other than the company code (e.g., plant level). FIFO valuation requires that the valuation level be set to the company code level to ensure that inventory valuation is consistent and accurate.
  Material Master Settings: The material master records for the materials in question may have been configured incorrectly, leading to this error.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system for inventory valuation may not align with the requirements for FIFO valuation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Valuation Level:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Valuation > Define Valuation Level.
  Ensure that the valuation level is set to Company Code for the relevant materials.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Master Records:
  
  Use Transaction code MM02 to change the material master records.
  Check the accounting view and ensure that the valuation type and method are correctly set to FIFO.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for the valuation method is correctly set up in the system.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to verify that the settings align with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
