• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3180 - Valuation class & not allowed for material type & ?

  The SAP error message M3180 indicates that there is an issue with the valuation class assigned to a material type in the system. This error typically arises when the valuation class specified for a material does not match the allowed valuation classes for that particular material type.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Valuation Class: The valuation class assigned to the material is not compatible with the material type defined in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not allow the specified valuation class for the material type.
  Material Master Data: The material master record may have been incorrectly set up, leading to a mismatch between the valuation class and the material type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the valuation class assigned to the material.
  Ensure that the valuation class is appropriate for the material type.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the configuration settings.

  Check the settings for the valuation classes and ensure that the valuation class assigned to the material is allowed for the specific material type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Valuation Class:
  
  If the valuation class is incorrect, you may need to change it in the material master record (transaction code MM02) to a valid one that is allowed for the material type.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
