• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MG414 - Valuation is at company code level ?

  The SAP error message MG414, which states "Valuation is at company code level," typically occurs in the context of inventory management and valuation in SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to perform an operation that is not compatible with the valuation method set for the materials involved, particularly when the valuation is defined at the company code level.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Level Setting: The valuation level for the materials is set to "Company Code" in the material master data. This means that the valuation of inventory is managed at the company code level rather than at the plant level.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are trying to execute may require a different valuation level (e.g., plant level) or is attempting to access data that is not compatible with the company code level valuation.
  Material Master Configuration: The material master records may not be properly configured for the operations you are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the valuation data. Ensure that the valuation level is set correctly according to your business requirements.
  If you need to change the valuation level, you may need to create a new material master with the desired settings.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are executing is appropriate for the valuation level set in the material master. If the transaction requires plant-level valuation, consider changing the transaction or the material settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you are an SAP consultant or have access to configuration settings, check the configuration in the SPRO transaction under:
  
  Logistics > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Valuation > Define Valuation Level.
  
  
  Ensure that the valuation level is set according to your organizational needs.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction you are attempting. Sometimes, lack of authorization can lead to unexpected error messages.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific transaction and its requirements.
