• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IEN143 - Valuation category does not allow split valuation ?

  The SAP error message IEN143, which states "Valuation category does not allow split valuation," typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves split valuation for a material that is not configured to allow it. Split valuation is a feature in SAP that allows you to manage different valuations for the same material based on certain criteria, such as quality, origin, or procurement type.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Category Configuration: The valuation category assigned to the material does not support split valuation. This can happen if the valuation category is set to a type that does not allow for multiple valuations.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not be set up correctly to allow for split valuation. This includes the valuation type and the settings in the accounting view of the material master.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to perform (e.g., goods receipt, invoice verification) may require split valuation, but the material is not configured to support it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Valuation Category:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the valuation category assigned to the material.
  Ensure that the valuation category is set to one that allows split valuation (e.g., "X" for split valuation).
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Master Settings:
  
  If the material is supposed to allow split valuation, you may need to change the valuation category or adjust the material master settings.
  Use transaction code MM02 to modify the material master and ensure that the valuation type is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Enable Split Valuation:
  
  If split valuation is required for the material, you may need to enable it in the configuration settings. This can be done in the following way:
  
  Go to SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) ? Logistics General ? Material Master ? Valuation and Account Assignment ? Define Valuation Categories.
  Ensure that the valuation category you are using is configured to allow split valuation.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the configuration or material master, consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant to ensure that the changes align with your organization's policies and practices.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Split Valuation Types: Understand the different types of split valuation (e.g., by quality, by origin) and how they can be configured in SAP.
  Material Master Views: Familiarize yourself with the different views in the material master, especially the accounting view, where valuation settings are defined.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on split valuation and material master configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the IEN143 error and successfully manage materials with split valuation in SAP.
