• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK031 - FIFO valuation is active and the valuation level is company code. ?

  The SAP error message CNVA_20290_CHECK031 indicates an issue related to the FIFO (First In, First Out) valuation method in the context of the valuation level being set at the company code level. This error typically arises during the processing of inventory or material valuation in SAP, particularly when there is a mismatch between the valuation method and the configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Level Configuration: The error often occurs when the valuation level is set to "Company Code" while FIFO valuation is being used. FIFO valuation typically requires a different configuration, often at the plant level.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have settings that are inconsistent with the valuation method being used.
  Transaction Type: The transaction being processed may not be compatible with the current configuration of the valuation method.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Valuation Level:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction Code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Define Valuation Level.
  Ensure that the valuation level is set correctly according to your business requirements. If FIFO is required, consider changing the valuation level to "Plant".
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Use Transaction Code: MM03 to display the material master record.
  Check the accounting view and ensure that the valuation type and method are correctly set up for FIFO.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction Settings:
  
  If you are processing a transaction that is incompatible with FIFO valuation at the company code level, consider adjusting the transaction or the settings to align with FIFO requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to FIFO valuation and material management to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
