  The SAP error message CVIV_VAL032 indicates an issue related to the configuration of Automatic Goods Receipt (GR) and the handling of GR-Based Invoice Verification (IV) for a specific subrange and plant. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The error typically arises when the system is configured to use Automatic Goods Receipt Settlement (GRSet Ret) for a specific subrange and plant, but the GR-Based Invoice Verification (IV) is not set up correctly or is not compatible with the current settings.
  Inconsistent Settings: There may be inconsistencies in the settings for the material master, purchasing info records, or the configuration of the plant/subrange that lead to this error.
  Material Type: The material type associated with the subrange may not support GR-Based IV, or there may be restrictions based on the purchasing organization or plant settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the material and ensure that GR-Based IV is enabled for the relevant material type and plant.
  Verify the settings in the material master (transaction MM02) and ensure that the relevant fields for GR-Based IV are correctly set.
  
  
  
  Adjust Automatic GR Settings:
  
  If Automatic GR is not required, consider disabling it for the specific subrange or plant.

  Review Material Master and Info Records:
  
  Check the material master data for the specific material and ensure that the relevant fields are correctly configured.
