What causes this issue?

The ledger group to which your valuation area is assigned contains
several ledgers. During the balance valuation, these ledgers are read
and valuated individually. The valuation postings use the ledger groups
with the same names (for example, ledger XY is valuated and ledger group
XY is used for the postings). At least one ledger in the ledger group
assigned would be posted twice, and this is not correct from a business
point of view.

  Incorrect Posting Period: If the posting period is not set correctly, it may lead to the system attempting to value the same transactions multiple times.
  
  
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they might inadvertently cause the valuation process to be triggered multiple times.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that lead the system to believe that a valuation has not been completed when it has.
