• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE352 - Enter only one valuation method per line ?

  The SAP error message KE352 ("Enter only one valuation method per line") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you are trying to enter multiple valuation methods on a single line item in a transaction related to cost accounting, such as when you are working with cost centers, internal orders, or profitability analysis.

  Review Your Entry: Check the line items you are trying to enter. Make sure that each line has only one valuation method specified.
