• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IEN144 - Valuation type not entered in spite of split valuation ?

  The SAP error message IEN144 ("Valuation type not entered in spite of split valuation") typically occurs when you are trying to post a transaction involving materials that are subject to split valuation, but the valuation type has not been specified. Split valuation allows you to manage different valuations for the same material based on certain criteria, such as quality, origin, or procurement type.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Valuation Type: The valuation type is not specified in the material master record or during the transaction.
  Split Valuation Configuration: The material is configured for split valuation, but the necessary valuation type is not assigned.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the accounting view to ensure that the valuation type is correctly defined for the material.
  If the valuation type is missing, you may need to update the material master with the appropriate valuation type.
  
  
  
  Specify Valuation Type in Transaction:
  
  When performing the transaction (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue), ensure that you specify the valuation type if prompted.
  If you are using a transaction that allows for multiple valuation types, make sure to select the correct one.
  
  
  
  Review Split Valuation Settings:
  
  Check the split valuation settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO).
  Ensure that the valuation types are correctly defined and that the material is assigned to the appropriate valuation type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling split valuation and valuation types.
