  The SAP error message IWO_BAPI618 indicates that the material specified (denoted by &1) is neither valuated nor subject to batch requirements. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management or production planning when trying to process a material that does not meet the necessary criteria for valuation or batch management.
  Causes:
  
  Material Master Settings: The material may not be set up correctly in the material master. Specifically, it may not have a valuation class assigned or may not be marked for batch management.
  Valuation Type: The material might be defined as a non-valuated material in the system, meaning it does not have a monetary value assigned to it.
  Batch Management: The material may not be configured to use batch management, which is required for certain processes in SAP.
  Transaction Context: The error can occur in specific transactions where the system expects the material to be valuated or managed in batches, such as during goods movements, production orders, or inventory adjustments.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the following:
  
  Ensure that the material has a valuation class assigned in the Accounting view.
  Verify that the material is set to be valuated (check the valuation type).
  If batch management is required, ensure that the material is marked for batch management in the Basic Data or Plant Data/Storage view.
  
  
  
  
  
  Update Material Settings:
  
  If the material is not valuated and should be, you may need to change the material type or valuation settings. This can be done using transaction code MM02 to modify the material master.
  If batch management is required, enable it in the material master settings.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the material type. If the material is not intended to be used in a specific process, consider using a different material that meets the requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the material type and its requirements.
