  Specify Valuation Type: When performing the transaction, ensure that you specify the valuation type for the material. This can usually be done in the transaction screen where you enter the material details.
  Check Material Master: Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the valuation data. Ensure that the valuation types are correctly defined and that the material is set up for split valuation.
  Transaction Settings: If you are using a custom transaction or a specific program, ensure that it is designed to handle split valuation correctly and prompts for the valuation type when necessary.
