• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE348 - No valuation segment exists in the material master record for product & ?

  The SAP error message KE348 indicates that there is no valuation segment in the material master record for the specified product. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a transaction that requires a valuation segment, such as posting a goods movement or executing a cost analysis.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Valuation Segment: The material master record for the product does not have a valuation segment defined. This can happen if the material was created without the necessary accounting views or if the valuation data was not maintained.
  Incorrect Material Type: The material type may not be set up to allow for valuation segments.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the material master data, possibly due to incomplete data entry or issues during data migration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Record:
  
  Go to transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and enter the material number.
  Check if the accounting views (specifically the valuation segment) are maintained. You should look for the "Accounting" view and ensure that the valuation data is filled in.
  
  
  
  Maintain Valuation Data:
  
  If the valuation segment is missing, you can maintain it using transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
  Select the "Accounting" view and enter the necessary valuation data, including the valuation class, price control, and other relevant fields.
  
  
  
  Check Material Type Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the material type is configured correctly in the system to allow for valuation segments. This can be checked in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics > Material Master > Material Types > Define Attributes of Material Types and verify the settings.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  If you suspect data inconsistencies, you may need to run a consistency check or use transaction CKM3 to analyze the cost component structure and ensure that all necessary data is in place.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may be required for your organization’s setup.
