  The SAP error message KJ137 "No item -> valuation type undefined" typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and material management (MM) when there is an issue with the valuation type of a material or cost object. This error indicates that the system cannot find a valid valuation type for the item being processed, which is necessary for determining how costs are assigned to that item.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Valuation Type: The valuation type for the material or cost object is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the material or cost object may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of a valuation type.
