• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3790 - You have not yet maintained valuation-type-independent data ?

  The SAP error message M3790, "You have not yet maintained valuation-type-independent data," typically occurs in the context of material master data management. This error indicates that certain required data for a material has not been maintained, specifically the valuation-type-independent data that is necessary for inventory valuation and other related processes.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Valuation Data: The material master record does not have the necessary valuation data maintained for the relevant valuation area or valuation type.
  Incomplete Material Master Setup: The material may not have been fully set up in the system, particularly in the Accounting or Costing views.
  Valuation Type Not Defined: The valuation type for the material has not been defined or is not properly linked to the valuation area.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the M3790 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number and select the relevant views (especially Accounting and Costing).
  Ensure that all required fields are filled out, particularly those related to valuation.

  Ensure that the valuation class is assigned correctly, and that the valuation type is defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code MM01:
  
  If the material is not yet created, use MM01 to create the material master and ensure that you fill in all necessary fields, including valuation-related data.
