• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB087 - Prop./prod. unit valuation only poss. in valuation for a single batch ?

  The SAP error message LB087 ("Prop./prod. unit valuation only possible in valuation for a single batch") typically occurs in the context of inventory management and batch management in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to perform a valuation for a product or production unit because it requires a single batch valuation, but multiple batches are involved.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Batches: The error usually arises when you are trying to perform a valuation or a transaction that involves multiple batches of the same material. SAP requires that the valuation be done on a single batch basis for certain operations.
  Batch Management Settings: The configuration settings for batch management may not be set up correctly, leading to issues when trying to process multiple batches.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to execute may not support multiple batch valuations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Single Batch Valuation: Ensure that you are working with a single batch when performing the valuation. If you have multiple batches, you may need to split the transaction or valuation process to handle each batch individually.
  Check Batch Management Configuration: Review the configuration settings for batch management in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes and that they allow for the necessary operations.
  Use Batch Selection: If applicable, use the batch selection screen to specify a single batch for the valuation process.
  Transaction Review: Review the transaction you are trying to execute. If it inherently requires single batch processing, consider adjusting your approach to comply with this requirement.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction you are using and how to handle batch valuations.
