• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7402 - Stock type reset for value-only material & ?

  The SAP error message M7402, which states "Stock type reset for value-only material &," typically occurs when there is an attempt to perform a stock movement or inventory transaction on a material that is classified as a "value-only" material. This means that the material does not have physical stock associated with it, and therefore, certain stock movements are not allowed.

  Value-Only Material: The material in question is defined in the system as a value-only material, which means it is used for financial purposes but does not have physical stock.
