• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7079 - Batches with different valuation types & & ?

  The SAP error message M7079 indicates that there is an issue with the valuation types of batches during a goods movement or inventory management process. Specifically, it occurs when you attempt to process batches that have different valuation types, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to perform a goods movement (like a transfer posting or a goods issue) involving multiple batches that have different valuation types.
  Valuation types are used in SAP to differentiate between different types of stock (e.g., unrestricted stock, quality inspection stock, blocked stock) within the same material.
  
  Solution:

  Check Batch Valuation Types:

  Use Batches with the Same Valuation Type:
  
  Ensure that all batches you are trying to process in the transaction have the same valuation type. If they do not, you will need to separate the transactions or adjust the batches accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Batch Characteristics:
  
  If necessary, you may need to change the valuation type of the batches involved. This can be done through batch management transactions, but be cautious as changing valuation types can have implications on inventory valuation and accounting.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for batch management and valuation types in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes and that they allow for the intended transactions.
