  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Proportion Valuation Data: The most common cause is that there are no proportion valuations defined for the material in the specified valuation area. This can happen if the material has not been set up correctly in the system or if the valuation data has not been maintained.
  
  
  Incorrect Valuation Area: The valuation area specified in the error message may not be correctly set up or may not correspond to the material in question.
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may be incomplete or incorrectly configured, particularly in the accounting or valuation views.
