• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LOBM_MESSAGES065 - Valuation type can not be left blank. ?

  The SAP error message LOBM_MESSAGES065 indicates that the valuation type cannot be left blank. This error typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material master data when the system expects a valuation type to be specified but finds it missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Valuation Type: The valuation type is a key component in the material master record, particularly for materials that are managed in a way that requires different valuation methods (e.g., standard price, moving average price). If the valuation type field is not filled in, the system cannot process transactions related to that material.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the material types or valuation classes that are not set up correctly.
  Data Entry Errors: During the creation or modification of material master records, the valuation type field may have been inadvertently left blank.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM02 for change or MM03 for display).
  Ensure that the valuation type is filled in under the appropriate views (e.g., Accounting view).
  If the valuation type is missing, you will need to enter the correct valuation type based on your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for material types and valuation classes in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Ensure that the valuation types are correctly defined and linked to the appropriate material types.
  
  
  
  Data Entry:
  
  If you are entering data through a transaction or a program, ensure that the valuation type is being populated correctly in the relevant fields.
  If using a custom program or interface, verify that the logic for populating the valuation type is functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how valuation types are used in your organization’s SAP setup.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users involved in material master data entry are trained on the importance of the valuation type and how to correctly fill it in.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Valuation Type: This is a classification that allows for different valuation methods for the same material. It is often used in scenarios where materials are managed in batches or have different characteristics.
  Material Master Views: The valuation type is typically found in the Accounting view of the material master. Ensure that the relevant views are maintained correctly.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material) for managing material master data.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in material management.
