• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CX_MSR_LFE020 - Step ID '&1' requires non-valuated stock ?

  The SAP error message CX_MSR_LFE020 indicates that a specific step in a process (identified by the Step ID &1) requires non-valuated stock, but the system is unable to find the necessary stock to proceed. This error typically occurs in the context of inventory management, production planning, or logistics processes where stock valuation is a factor.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Valuated Stock Requirement: The process step you are trying to execute requires non-valuated stock, which means that the stock should not have a monetary value assigned to it. This is often the case in scenarios where stock is used for internal purposes, such as production or maintenance.
  
  
  Stock Type Mismatch: The stock available may be valuated stock (e.g., stock that has been assigned a monetary value) or may not be in the correct status or type required for the process.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that dictate how stock is managed, which could lead to this error if not set up correctly.
  
  
  Stock Availability: There may simply be no non-valuated stock available in the specified location or for the specified material.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stock Availability: Verify if there is any non-valuated stock available for the material in question. You can do this by checking the stock overview in the SAP system (transaction code MMBE).
  
  
  Adjust Stock Type: If you have valuated stock that needs to be converted to non-valuated stock, you may need to perform a stock transfer or adjust the stock type accordingly.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to stock management in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings for non-valuated stock are correctly defined and that the relevant materials are set up to allow for non-valuated stock.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific process you are working on to understand the requirements for non-valuated stock.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific system configuration and business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MMBE (Stock Overview), MB52 (List of Warehouse Stocks on Hand), and MB1A (Goods Withdrawal) to manage and analyze stock.
  Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up, particularly the valuation class and stock type settings.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved in the process, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect stock handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
